hey, I was just perusing the Nov Tux magazine online and read an 
article about choosing a Linux distro.

http://www.tuxmagazine.com/node/1000160
How to Choose a Canine Companion, or Finding the Right Distro
The author of a new book for Linux users explains how and why he chose 
to use the Linspire distribution.

by Peter van der Linden 

my question is why he pushes Linspire, which costs $50 a year, when it 
is based on Debian, which is free. but you CAN buy the 12-14 CDs from 
companies, as an example:
http://www.1stdebian.com/
Version 3.1r0 "Sarge"
Released June 6, 2005
13 or 14 disks, $29.99
Also available on DVDs.

Version 3.1 (Sarge) offers support for much newer hardware, many new 
features, the 2.6 kernel, and many other improvements.



I downloaded all the CD's, but I just finished upgrading to SUSE 10.0, 
so I'm not ready for a change right now:)
