Canonical & Linspire join forces

Canonical, the leading sponsor of the most successful community-driven Linux distro ‘Ubuntu’ and Linspire (another key distro) have decided to work together. Upcoming Linspire releases will be based on Ubuntu, instead of Debian. Linspire will continue to mix open source with commercial drivers and applications for a nice out-of-the-box feeling. Consequentially, Linspire has announced that Ubuntu will be the first external distro to benefit from its CNR technology.

Great news!
