One-Click Software Installation for Ubuntu 8.04

Linspire announced the immediate availability of their CNR (Click 'N Run) client, also known as the one-click installation software, for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS operating system. The client comes with applications such as Google Earth, Google Maps, Google Notebook, SoftMaker Office, DOSBox, ON Networks, Snipshot, Virus Total. CNR grants access to a lot of wonderful games, multimedia codecs, video and audio players, image editors/viewers and much, much more!

On the 23rd of January, 2007, Linspire announced for the first time that they were working to extend their CNR (Click 'N Run) website for other popular Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE and Debian. The CNR service had already been available for all Linspire and Freespire users. Kevin Carmony, the President and CEO of Linspire Inc., stated that he had enough with complaints from MS Windows and Mac users about Linux, and that there were too many distributions and each one had a different way of installing software: "When we started Linspire, we knew that we'd need to overcome this complexity. This led to Linspire's CNR ("Click 'N Run") technology."
