A coworker of mine was building a system when he grabbed a factory sealed harddrive (from seagate) and it happen to have linspire installed. Someone forgot to do a format :)

Actually I think Seagate and Linspire have some kind of arrangement, Seagate drives ship with Linspire pre-installed on them.

cool but the idea doesnt work very well the autodetect still needs work as it was installed in a system that i know has total support with linspire since installed it on one that was exactly the same setup. nice to see a vendor with some guts though :)
