Linspire partners with Ubuntu

Linspire have announced that they will be switching the core of their system from Debian to Ubuntu. Ubuntu itself is based on Debian so this move will give Linspire more time to concentrate on improving the user experience rather than trying to keep up with all the latest enhancements. Freespire will also be switching after the release of Ubuntu 7.04 with a release expected only a few weeks later. Linspire is expected to release version 6.0 of their famous system within a couple of months.
