Does Freespire run as root?

No. Linspire has always allowed you to easily set up passwords for Root, Admin (pseudo root) and User accounts. However, unlike Linspire where setting up a user account is optional, Freespire does this by default and is designed to be run primarily as a User or Admin (pseudo Root), and rarely (if ever) as root. Freespire and Linspire both have strict firewalls in place by default.
