The old vs. the new Linux desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| And, of course, today you can buy PCs with 
| Linux pre-installed on them from vendors like 
| Dell and System76. While I suspect most 
| people still download and install their own 
| Linux distribution, you no longer have to do 
| it.
| 
| Still, though today's Linux desktops are 
| bigger, faster, and have far more software 
| and hardware support than the Corel desktop, 
| or its 1999 counterparts from Stormix and 
| Caldera, you can see that their family tree 
| is rooted in this first Linux desktop aimed 
| at the mass market.

Linux PC launches for the elderly

| The SimplicITy (see the IT, geddit?) is a
| simplified desktop with just six buttons
| for basic tasks such as email and chat.
| It's set up with a Linux Mint based
| operating system and an Eldy.org linked
| email client.
