Why are they doing that? How did you get the code?

Thanks for that. This is probably a good way for new guys to get into Linux. There are a lot of people in line for the download though.

I got it after 3 hours, LOL. But its free.
Just sign up and come back later if you dont want to wait in line...
or someone can upload the ISO to Rapidshare or Megaupload.
I wish I can upload it, but my DSL sucks.

Thanks Gophn, for the notice.
I just went and got mine but it is setting in the My Products section as I don't want to wait in line to download it and am not in a hurry. I'll just wait until the crowd is gone and get it then. I tried to contact support and here is the message they gave me.....
In order to better serve you, the Linspire Support website is down for planned upgrades and maintenance. We expect the new system to be operational by April 16th, 2007 so you can submit support tickets again. (In the meantime, you may benefit from our helpful community at http://forum.freespire.org)
This may explain why the line is so long.
I think this deal is a good thing for Linux as a lot of people will be trying Linspire due to this.

I also noticed that the web is very slow tonight so maybe that is why your DSL is not working up to par.

my DSL sucks because I share it with 2 other people, of whom are not gamers, they just hog all of the bandwidth by watching stuff on Youtube and other video streaming sites.

I don't understand your problem since unlike cable, DSL provides constant speed because you never have to share bandwidth with other subscribers. Unless you are talking about all three of you are using the same phone line as one subscriber. If that's the case it's not the DSL at fault it's your setup at home.

They tend to do this just before they release a new version. And sure enough, if you look at their release history on distrowatch they're due for a release.
