Comments on: Possible Ubuntu Alternative – Freespire http://helpmerick.com/possible-ubuntu-alternative-freespire.htm Easy to understand computer help Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:54:10 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Anonymous http://helpmerick.com/possible-ubuntu-alternative-freespire.htm/comment-page-#comment-2886 Anonymous Wed, 31 Dec 1969 17:00:00 +0000 http://helpmerick.com/wordpr/?p=1771#comment-2886 Been using Freespire 2.0 for some time. Its very easy to install and it seems to install faster than Ubuntu 7.04. What sets this apart from other Linux operating Systems...It does audio and video "out of the box" meaning that after you install the system....its ready to go. It already contains proprietary codecs and programs. Freespire is the free version of Linspire. Definately worth installing in your machine. Looking for a good alternative to Windows??...try Freespire 2.0. After installing Freespire 2.0, I was able to listen to internet radio stations and even view video from online sources.

So during set up I opted in to the Media Center's online TV guide, which (if I understand correctly) reports to content providers what you watch --- so they can better serve you, of course. I didn't find it very useful and now I want to opt out. I tried "Help" and online forums and even Google, but I haven't found any way to do that. Am I missing something obvious? Can you help me? Merlin PS Love your site and show. I know, I know … and I plan to upgrade to Linux; but a computer with the hardware I wanted came with Vista installed.
