Some people have asked, will Linspire 10 be the last? No. Linspire 10 and 11 will be the LAST Ubuntu based releases. Linspire 12 will be moving to a new base. Currently we have 3 bases that we are testing. Fedora, Debian and OpenSUSE. We will be releasing these publicly so you guys can tell us which one you like the most

Freespire user here. Change to non-Debian would mean a tremendous difference in package management for the end-user. Both SuSE and Fedora are RPM-based. What makes you want to switch?
PS. Thanks for Freespire. Great OS and nicely pre-configured!

As a long time user of Linspire dating back to the name change from Lindows to Linspire, I would love to see a shift back to a Debian base for nostalgic reasons. That said, I have come to truly love OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and would not be opposed at all to seeing a migration to openSUSE.
For those concerned with package management one of the things I really like with openSUSE is that they already setup the terminal scripts so even if you are moving from Ubuntu and Debian to them typing "sudo apt-get update" will trigger the proper zypper commands. I have seen people complain about this in their reviews, but honestly understanding that linux users are operating on several distros and making it easier to call the right commands up is frankly just smart.
