Linux and the PC Mentaility

| Here’s a minor thought dump of the moment: no hard numbers, just some general 
| observations over the past year or two. 
| 
| I’ve heard the comparison between Linux and other UNIX like OSes a few times 
| in the past.  Of course it is a bit hard to compare “Linux” - which is a 
| kernel - and the others which most often are complete operating systems.  
| Many times they even share a lot of GNU userland tools, so I will disregard 
| userland.

Ubuntu VS Other Linux Distributions

,----[ Quote ]
| If you log into the command line of both an Ubuntu system and a Red Hat
| Enterprise
| Linux or Fedora system, very little will look different. There are common
| directories and utilities between the two, and functionality is fundamentally
| the same. So what makes Ubuntu different from other Linux distributions? One
| difference is the installer.
|
| The complexity of booting and installing Ubuntu has been narrowed down to a
| handful of mouse clicks, making many of the install decisions automatic based
| on assumptions as to what the average user may need and want. In contrast, a
| Red Hat system presents the user with many install options, such as setting
| up a workstation or server, individually selecting packages to install, and
| setting administrative options.
