Linspire releases free LiveCD of "Five-0"
Mar. 29, 2005

A DesktopLinux.com reader informs us that Linspire has released a free LiveCD edition of Linspire 5.0 through BitTorrent. The LiveCD edition cannot be installed permanently on a system's hard drive, but it is useful for rescue and demonstration purposes.

The Linspire "Five-0" desktop Linux distribution was released by the company earlier this month. Included with the new version are the latest versions of several well-known open-source applications, including the OpenOffice productivity suite, Lsongs Music Manager and Lphoto Photo Manager, RealPlayer 10, and Lassist Suite, and a contact and email manager. In addition, the latest Linspire disribution comes with expanded support for popular file formats, including .mp3, .doc, and .pdf, among others.

Download the new LiveCD version of Linspire 5.0 from BitTorrent, here (646 MB).
