Life without Windows or OS X

GNU/Linux is quite possibly the most important free software achievement since the original Space War, or, more recently, Emacs. It has developed into an operating system for business, education, and personal productivity. GNU/Linux is no longer only for UNIX wizards who sit for hours in front of a glowing console. Are you thinking about switching to Linux and want to learn how to use it? Have you been using GNU/Linux for some time and want to learn even more? This is the place for you.

Anyone who previously had 5.0 on their account should be able to get and install this version. This version does not add any new major functionality! This is mainly a bug fix release that resolves some problems with the previous release.If your machine is running fine you do NOT need this version. This was pushed out mainly for the people who could not get Linspire 5.0.59 to install the first time around. If your machine is running fine then stick with it.
