I bought Linspire 6.0 and I am testing it out. I can't really tell what is Differient. I would also like to know how to get a Canon iP1800 printer to work on either Linspire or freespire. So far I like both I just need to get a few things working with it. I have Widows Vista as my main System but if i could get every thing working I may never go back to Windows. I'm having problems With vista updates And Windows can't Fix it. It's a pain in the Butt. Thanks b2tubbs

Linspire includes some commercial packages not available for the Freespire version (Microsoft fonts, latest windows media codec, etc.). if your printer is the Canon PIXMA iP1800, looks good (fm OpenPrinting database)...
