SAN DIEGO, Sept. 19 / / - Linspire, Inc., developer of the Linspire commercial and Freespire community desktop Linux operating systems and CNR.com, a free Linux software delivery service, today announced the immediate availability of its first commercial paid support offerings for Freespire users. Following the launch of Freespire 2.0 last month, these competitively priced paid support options are now available at http://support.freespire.org/ and offer commercial support services for Freespire users around the globe.
"Since its launch last month, the sheer volume and interest in Freespire 2.0 has exceeded our expectations," said Larry Kettler, Linspire President and CEO. "As Freespire becomes a viable alternative in the desktop operating system world, support services are available to provide users an additional peace of mind."
Freespire 2.0 (http://freespire.org/), the latest version of the free easy-to-use desktop Linux operating system builds on the best of open source software and adds legally licensed proprietary software to provide a better overall user experience.
"Historically in the desktop Linux space when you lower the total cost of ownership, adoption happens," continued Kettler. "Offering competitively priced support options to our free desktop Linux users was a natural next step in helping them with their adoption process."
