Can Ubuntu Linux Break Through to the Desktop?
,----[ Quote ]
| While the addition of whizzy 3D graphics might seem like mere eye candy, it
| is in fact a "real differentiator" for desktop adoption, King said. "One of
| the problems with desktop Linux distributions is that they tend to look like
| operating systems and applications from the '90s," he said. Ubuntu's new 3D
| graphics are "very, very cool-looking," he said. "As Vista and Apple's
| Leopard are incorporating 3D graphics, Ubuntu looks very contemporary."
|
| Another key differentiator is Ubuntu's improved plug-and-play support for
| device drivers, especially printers. "It's a very strategic move for Ubuntu
| to offer improved driver resources," King said. "On the desktop, you need to
| make things as easy as possible for users."

Nice theme, but a matter of taste.

| As multimedia distros go, Ubuntu Studio's decision to build on to an existing
| distro instead of reinventing the wheel gives it a leg up on its competition.
| I look forward to seeing what Ubuntu Studio will release once Ubuntu 7.10 is
| out the door.

A Look at Ubuntu Studio
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu has been the most popular Linux distribution for quite some
| time now. This popularity has spawned quite a few variants. Apart
| from the inevitable third-party knock-offs, there are a few
| "official" Ubuntu-based distributions: Kubuntu, which has a KDE
| GUI instead of the standard GNOME, Edubuntu, which is optimized
| for use in classrooms and Xubuntu, which uses the lighter-weight
| XFCE desktop to take advantage of older computers. Now, a new
| variant has appeared called Ubuntu Studio.

Ubuntu Studio 7.04 - The Crowning Jewel of the Ubuntu Family
,----[ Quote ]
| I am truly amazed and delighted with Ubuntu Studio. I'm surprised at my
| reaction as well. I'm not a big Ubuntu supporter, although I'm not a
| detractor either. I've just never been all that impressed with Ubuntu.
| Ubuntu Studio is a different matter. It was attractive and pleasant with
| some little extra touches that make it seemed very polished and
| professional.
