Linspire and Canonical have sent out a press release announcing a
"technology partnership" between the two. The core of the deal appears to
be that Linspire will base future versions of its distribution products on
Ubuntu Linux rather than Debian. "Linspire will continue combining
proprietary drivers, codecs and applications with open source software by
default in their operating systems. This approach, unique among Linux
distributions, offers out-of-the-box support for a broader range of
software, hardware and multimedia file types than the Debian or Ubuntu
baseline alone.
