About Freespire old packages
It was planned since the start of the project that Freespire would be based on Linspire 5.0 (aka old software, like KDE 3.3) and then, after having a good starting point (Freespire 1.0) to start develop a new version (Freespire 1.1) with all the new software (KDE 3.5.3, kernel 2.6.17 and so on). You can read about that point on http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20060501 (interview to CEO of Linspire) and in the Freespire wiki:

New Freespire 1.1 will be the base for future releases of Linspire.

Thanks for the info... I even read that interview and it went out one ear apparently. Glad to hear that future versions will use newer applications. I look forward to checking out 1.1.
