Comparing Linux Distributions - Final Results
,----[ Quote ]
| All of these distros except OpenSuse (couldn't load) are great options for
| those wanting to move to Linux (I will try Mint again later). For those who
| are more experienced with administering Linux desktops, you may have come to
| different conclusions. I did spend a lot of time with most distros performing
| command line magic to make some things work (especially on the 64-bit
| environment). Kubuntu and Ubuntu were the only distros where I just installed
| and went on my way. All others required some amount of tweaking.
|
| I had the luxury of owning several different machines and some time to
| experiment with the different Linux distributions. Each distribution that I
| was able to get up and running ran well. I was able to make use out of some
| old machines that were running poorly on XP. Most importantly, my new laptop
| that was running Vista very slowly is now cruising with Mepis.
|
| By no means was this a highly scientific experiment. This is the view from a
| technical guy with limited systems administration skills. Take it for what
| it's worth. My recommendation is Kubuntu and Mepis.

Linux Mint KDE Edition vs. Kubuntu Feisty Fawn: Desktop Productivity Test

| The Linux desktop is very important these days as it tries so hard to
| fight with giants like Windows and Mac OS X to conquer the new user. In
| my opinion, the best weapon for Linux to win this battle is the famous
| KDE (K Desktop Environment) because not only does it look very much
| like the Windows desktop, but it has also features from both Mac OS
| X and Windows.
