Let’s go over some frequently asked questions regarding this distribution.
What is Linspire CE, exactly?
Linspire CE is a specialized variant developed for the execution of cloud-based applications.

This allows organizations to repurpose older systems into their organizations, extending their hardware refresh cycle.
