Freespire believes that each individual should be free to choose what software is installed on their computer, with no limitations or restrictions placed on that choice. How you choose to maximize the performance of your computer is entirely up to you. (Please note that the following messages pertain to the regular version of Freespire, and not all of the features listed will apply to Freespire's OSS Edition.)
Freespire provides a "free marketplace" for any and all Linux software, including proprietary, open source, free, and commercial products. As with any free market, all vendors are "free" to participate and offer their wares, and the buyer is "free" to choose from the different wares without limitations or restrictions on their choice.
Freespire comes pre-loaded and ready to support MP3, Real, QuickTime, Windows Media, Java, Flash, and more. No more hunting around, buying, licensing and then installing all the different multimedia support software. Everything is already licensed and ready to run, with optional DVD support just a click away with CNR.
Freespire provides the most extensive hardware support available for desktop Linux, including drivers from ATI, nVidia, Intel, and others. Thousands of peripherals are supported without requiring the messy installation of drivers or other software. Just plug in the device and go. You can even keep your drivers up-to-date automatically with CNR's Update Service or apt.
Freespire supports the latest 802.11b and 802.11g wireless networking. Customizable profiles let you effortlessly shift between home, work and other networks without bothering with any messy configuration screens.
CNR is a one-click digital software delivery service for desktop Linux applications, libraries and packages.The CNR Service allows you to easily download hundreds of the most popular software programs for your Freespire computer with a graphical interface offering one-click installing, uninstalling and updating. If preferred, Freespire users may also use apt-get to freely install programs from the CNR Warehouse or other software repositories.
Once connected to the web, Freespire's specialized versions of Firefox and Thunderbird provide all you'll need for web browsing and email. Of course, you can always install a different browser or email program from the CNR Warehouse using CNR or apt-get. Freespire even provides a utility for switching which browser and email client you wish as your system-wide default.
Before you begin, check the minimum System Requirements and back up all sensitive data. After you have downloaded Freespire and burned the ISO onto a CD, follow these ten easy steps.
