Remember Linspire and Freespire?
They're baaaaaack!

And it's owner is making claims that I can't verify (http://www.pc-opensystems.com/p/linspireos.html [pc-opensystems.com])

LinspireOS is certified in many states to run government intranet and web based applications. LinspireOS is the ONLY Debian and Ubuntu based system that is certified by Oracle and IBM to host and deploy their respective cloud technologies. LinspireOS is deployed by 4 out of 5 US military branches and is in use by the NOAA and the National Weather Service. LinspireOS is also used by many local law enforcement agencies as well as deployed by over 100 school systems in 50 states as well as 20 school systems on the African continent.

It is based, again, on Debian/Ubuntu and released at version 7.0.1 and Freespire 3.0.1

Ah, the memories of running Linux as root without a password!

Has anyone tried it lately? Anyone from Gov/Mil/law enforcement? Is there a password enforcement now?
