Okay, I finally installed Linspire 6.0 on a desktop system in my house and tried the cnr.com on Linspire. I assumed the match between the two would be good. It did not disapoint. I like the look and feel of the site. The actual finding software is very intuitive. Yeah, there are still some missplaced items, but that is to be expected (and sometimes humorous). I think the support and community sections could have improved navigation.

Forums always serve to be a useful resource and yet this forum is barren. That needs to change. Some instruction to make it more clear on how to enter reviews would be nice as well.

The other day I took the chance and installed CNR on my Ubuntu box. Now, other than the yet to be fulfilled promise of legal codecs, there is not much offered by cnr that I cannot get through add/remove in Gutsy. However, I have been using Linux since 2001. I have a large beta group of new users. About 25% of the student body at the school I teach at now use Ubuntu. When Spring semester starts, I will show them CNR and see what they have to say.
