Sunday, January 13th, 2008420 Part III . Choosing and Installing a Linux Distribution Many of the online Linspire support options are available by clicking the Help Center icon (it looks like a life jacket) in the panel. The menu that appears not only connects you to official Linspire online support and community forums, but also lets you view How-To tutorials and run demos of Linspire software. Linspire Forums and Information If you should encounter any problems or simply want to ask some questions about Linspire, you can start by checking out the Linspire support pages. By taking your Web browser to http://support.linspire.com, you can access user forums, FAQs, and (if you have a product logon) personalized support. While the FAQs and personalized support are very useful at times, you will get the most mileage out of the user forums. Most of the forums allow posts by registered users only, but there are guest areas as well. These forums are frequented by other users and product developers and are a great resource for getting future product information and providing feedback on how Linspire works for you. Audio Assistant What good would new software be without a product tour peppered with a touch of product evangelism? Linspire offers both with the Audio Assistant. This animated tour of the Linspire OS runs after your initial installation. The Assistant walks you through using Click-N-Run, configuring your desktop, and a lot more. You can check out the online version of the Audio Assistant at http://media .linspire.com/howto/kiosk.swf. Should you install Linspire and bypass the Audio Assistant tutorial, have no fear. You can re-launch the tutorials by clicking the life jacket icon in the lower-left corner of your desktop (in the toolbar). Installing Linspire Five-0 If you plan ahead, a Linspire installation is one of the most straightforward software installations. This includes Apple and Microsoft as well as other Linux distributions. There are very few configuration options and no disk partitioning options other than either selecting an installation partition or wiping the entire hard disk. For maximum joy, make sure you have no data on the computer/partition/drive where Linspire will be installed. The target location for the installation will be wiped out. Also make sure that you check the supported hardware list (www.linspire.com/ lindows_hwsw_compatibility.php) before you begin your installation to make sure there are no surprises there. Note
