hmmmm. Dog, thanks for posting that. The Linspire Click 'n Run is what separated them from other Linux distros. Makes installing Linux software a snap. It may be time to give them another look, thanks again for posting this!

 

thanks dog for the update..

 

I have what I need with SMART, but reading about the opensourcing of CNR sounds interesting. Maybe someday we'll have a universal installer for Linux, so there won't be so many differences in package management making it easier to move from distro to distro.

oh, and thanks dog for the update!

 

i don't think it's making installing software easier that makes CNR what it is becuase Ubuntu's add/remove programs is just as easy when it comes to installing and searching for programs
