I just saw this story (http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS8523030175.html) on digg.Anyways it looks as though linspire is going to opensource cnr soon. Should ubuntu include cnr? would you use it?

I'm just going to say, that this has been done to death. Just search the forums for threads with CNR in the title.
People ARE fed up of talking about it.

Such as the one you posted in Edgy Eft (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=247452).

What is the difference between CnR and Synaptic?

Synaptic - Index of all the apt repositories you have in your sources list. Development packages, dummy packages, language packages, ALL of them.

CNR - Pay-to-use (not anymore, me thinks) program that just shows the actual programs, not the dev files.

i dont think i've been around here long enough to know about the whole cnr and ubuntu thing:-? , srry if i got carried away a little with what i thought was somthing new :( .so i guess im beating a dead horse here.

Also i guess the only feature of cnr that could be useful would be the ability to purchase legal codecs (maybe just that feature could be included somehow into synaptic).

I always thought cnr was a gui self installer kinda like windows . exe or .msi but its just some spiffy repository.:(

bells, whistles, frills
some call it good some call it bad, hey it is still a choice why not have it out there?
