We Add CNR

We add free access to all Linux software through CNR, allowing one-click installation from over 20,000 software programs, packages and libraries: both free & commercial software. (CNR Client currently in beta stage.)

We Add KDE

We use KDE (Version 3.5.6) for an easier-to-use and more comfortable interface, with a familiar look & feel for

Mac and Windows users.

We Add Enhanced Applications
For added features and enhanced useability, we modify software applications like Firefox and Thunderbird, along with adding Linspire-sponsored open source software like Nvu, Lsongs and Lphoto.

We Add Proprietary Software
Adding proprietary software when necessary, like Java, Flash and Adobe Acrobat, provides increased interoperability. We also provide one-click access to dozens of other commercial software programs such as StarOffice, Parallels, Win4Lin, and more.

We Add Codecs
Adding proprietary codecs expands software compatibility and provides a better overall experience so users can play MP3 files, watch DVDs, play Windows Media files, watch QuickTime movie trailers, and more.

We Add Drivers
Adding proprietary software drivers expands hardware compatibility and provides optimum 3D graphic card support, better WiFi support, and more.
