   Wh8[Uhc8QPWg31EYULWEj9T@:bUUc8GQReV6e5cQkjgW What are the advantages of being ubuntu based rather than debian based   
   > given the fact that ubuntu itself is debian based?   
      
   The Linspire Canonical Partnership FAQ at linspire has a fair amount to   
   say about that in the sections:   
      
   FAQs About Linspire/Freespire Using Ubuntu As Their Linux Baseline   
      
      What does it mean that Linspire and Freespire will transition their   
   core from Debian to Ubuntu?   
      Why are Linspire and Freespire making this change?   
      Does this mean Linspire and Freespire will start looking and behaving   
   like the Ubuntu distribution   
      But isn't Ubuntu GNOME based? Will Linspire and Freespire remain KDE   
   based?   
      What are some of the ways Linspire and Freespire will be different   
   from Ubuntu?   
      etc etc for 5 more qx/s.   
      
   and then there is the section   
      
   FAQs About Ubuntu Using CNR Technology
