The press release mentioned making CNR open-source. I wonder if this means that other Debian-based distros (Ubuntu, Xandros, etc.) will be able to install and use CNR...perhaps even allowing LSongs and LPhoto to be made officially available to distros like Ubuntu and Xandros.

Back around the turn of the century, when any Linux-related IPO was red hot, I wrote columns for some fairly major outlets that covered Linux issues. My perspective was not that of a hard-core propeller-headed Linux geek, but rather a proponent of a movement to make a user-friendly Linux distro, something the average computer user could actually install. I encountered a lot of hostility from the Linux proponents who wanted to keep the whole Linux environment as basically a private club for those smart enough to work with it. It took a few years, but something like Linspire (fka Lindows) is exactly what I was talking about. Nice package.
