Yes, Linspire is a pay for download system, you pay a subscription fee and 
then you can download different application for their servers. All that 
Linspire is doing is setting up an apt server that requires authentication 
to download updates. If you remove their 'CNR' (Click and Run) features you 
can add Debian repositories into the /etc/apt/sources.list file and download 
Debian updates for the Linspire desktop. It would be cool if someone setup 
an apt server with updated debs just for linspire. I am not talkign about 
stealing them, just rolling your own version that works with Linspire and 
putting them on an apt server for people to download. I didn't like linspire 
because it was buggy. The Mozilla issue that started this thread was a 
problem I had as well. I fixed it by getting rid of it.
 What I am getting at is that ubuntu has everything that linspire has, 
(kubuntu has kde instead of gnome) for free. No pay to download, free.
