if you don't want the wait and registration. Xandros is a near clone of linspire. right down to kde based gui setup. ( logos are different ) linspire was first released as "Lindows" http://distrowatch.com/ for most distros. another, very similar to linspire and xandros is vector. though vector is still a bit buggy, requiring editing the x config at console to get right resolution, and not liking some root passwords.
