&gt; How to Choose a Canine Companion, or Finding the Right Distro
&gt; The author of a new book for Linux users explains how and why he chose
&gt; to use the Linspire distribution.
&gt;
&gt; by Peter van der Linden
&gt;
&gt; my question is why he pushes Linspire, which costs $50 a year, when it
&gt; is based on Debian, which is free. but you CAN buy the 12-14 CDs from
&gt; companies, as an example:
&gt; <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.1stdebian.com/";>http://www.1stdebian.com/</a>
&gt; Version 3.1r0 &quot;Sarge&quot;
&gt; Released June 6, 2005
&gt; 13 or 14 disks, $29.99
&gt; Also available on DVDs.
&gt;
&gt; Version 3.1 (Sarge) offers support for much newer hardware, many new
&gt; features, the 2.6 kernel, and many other improvements.
&gt;
&gt;
&gt;
&gt; I downloaded all the CD's, but I just finished upgrading to SUSE 10.0,
&gt; so I'm not ready for a change right now:)
