Do Your Customers Hate Vista? Rip and Replace with a Twist
,----[ Quote ]
| Arguably, the most complex thing about Linux today is picking a distribution
| to run. Solution providers need only consider a few simple elements when
| choosing what distributions to standardize on. First off, is commercial
| support needed? Secondly, what applications are bundled? Thirdly, is the
| distribution part of a networking solution (Think Red Hat/Novell)? And
| finally, does the distributor offer anything in the way of a channel program?

Why try another Linux distro?
,----[ Quote ]
| I've been a full-fledged Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon user for more than a week now,
| I'm completely off Microsoft Windows and I couldn't be happier. For some
| reason, however, I keep getting emails and posts urging me to try other
| supposedly superior Linux distributions for newbies - PCLinuxOS and
| SimplyMEPIS, among others. Intrigued, I have decided to check this out for
| myself. Is Ubuntu the best or merely the best backed distro?
