...are great Linux applications. I've used Nvu, Lphoto and Lsongs, and I can say these three products are much needed and welcome products for those using Linux on their desktop.
You have to realize that Linspire isn't creating products for the "geek" crowd (there's not enough geeks to have much of a business there). They are trying to take desktop Linux to the average computer user.
In Mexico, Linspire computers are available in over 800 Elektra stores (Elektra is the Wal-Mart of Mexico) and Elektra reports that the Linspire computers OUTSELL THE MS WINDOWS computers! So, for the thousands of people who are buying their first computer, and it ends up being a Linspire computer, programs such as Lsongs and Lphoto are CRITICAL.
