Maybe; but since Michael Robertson turned over the Linspire CEO
job to his second-in-command, they may have to make a profit now
that Robertson isn't supporting Linspire now. (He is still defending
against MP3 suits and I understand he is starting up a new Internet
phone system)

I don't have enough experience with linspire to respond presently
to your last question; but I don't think so if one can work in
the console mode.

Ciao, Ack.
