About Freespire
Freespire is a community-involved, Linux-based operating system that
combines the best that free, open source software has to offer
(community involved, freely distributed, open source code, etc.), but
also provides users the choice of including proprietary codecs, drivers
and applications as they see fit.
Freespire is sponsored by Linspire,
a commercial, desktop-oriented distribution based on Debian
and Ubuntu.
