Hello Tom - 

TW> IF Linspire Locks you into their CNR programs is something
TW> I was courious about also. 

I can't say from hands on experience but the methods used to
auto-install software varies from distribution to distribution
and it appears that Linspire did not include a way to use other
distributions software which is understandable since Linspire
is a commercial entity attempting to generate monies to pay
their people with. :-) 

For $19 a year I would think having a high level of confidence
that the install would function properly is worthwhile.
Linspire is aimed at novice Linux users who need all the help
they can get.
