| PCQ Linux 2008 this time comes with virtual appliances of an ERP and CRM
| application, a web-based meeting software, a messaging and collaboration
| platform, a document and content management system, and even a directory
| server to allow single sign-on for all of them. Plus, there's even a virtual
| appliance for developers and yet another one for network and security
| managers. So you won't be spending time installing them, but simply sipping
| coffee while you wait for them to get copied and extracted from the DVD onto
| your machine.

More distros = more choice
,----[ Quote ]
| With more than 300 active distributions (distros), Linux is on a roll. Linux
| distros primarily differ in terms of features since they are built on
| variants of the same kernel (32-bit/64-bit; with various features of the
| kernel enabled or disabled). “All the Linux distributions come from the same
| upstream kernel and what distinguishes each distribution is how they provide
| support, get ISVs to certify the ISV applications on the specific
| distribution, and how IHVs (Independent Hardware Vendor) get to do the same,”
| feels Nandu Pradhan, President & Managing Director, Red Hat India.
