Ubuntu: A New Competitor in the OS Battle?
,----[ Quote ]
| Considering Vista's pricing and incompatibility, Linux appears to be
| a very good option. If it comes to visual effects and eye candy,
| Ubuntu Linux has some amazing visual effects, which consume very
| little resources compared to Vista. Some PC retailers such as Dell
| Computers are offering notebooks and desktop PC's with Ubuntu
| preinstalled and preconfigured, which makes it very easy to get
| started with Linux.

Business vs Community: Xandros and PCLinuxOS compared
,----[ Quote ]
| This article is a comparison and a review of two Linux distributions
| that got a lot of attention recently. We will compare a fully
| commercial Xandros Desktop and more community-friendly PCLinuxOS.

| I'm an advanced Linux user and for me PCLinuxOS is a winner.
| Exact conclusions are however hard to tell. Xandros can be a good
| choice for first-time Linux users (generally hardcore Windows users)
| and those companies that depend on software for MS Windows. On the
| other hand it isn't much more that a well-integrated set of
| packages containing open-source software plus a few commercial apps
| that are also available for other distros.

| I finally made the switch. I reloaded my Dell E521 with Ubuntu 7.04

| rocks in place for me to tip-toe across the river of change, I
| went for it.
