Ubuntu & Linspire

[Man-Chicken]

It means we'll get more downstream patches, and linspire will help us get more 
people using Free software.  I think it's a win-win.  Linspire gets some 
packages from a damned-good distro to merge in, and we get some hopefully 
comparable patches back up from them.  Freedom is a wonderful thing.
