Kickstart 2010 with Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| If your new year's resolution is to kick the
| Microsoft habit, here are some Linux versions
| you might want to look at.
|
| Switching to a new operating system is never
| easy. Particularly if you were brought up on a
| staple diet of Microsoft Windows. But it's not
| as hard as it used to be to switch to Linux
| because there is a good selection of quality
| Linux versions that are easy to install and
| comfortable to use.

FOSS: How Did 2009 Shape Up?
,----[ Quote ]
| A major release of the Linux kernel happens
| every three months, which means this year has
| seen four new versions. Of course, not all of
| these will see major circulation as most
| distros only release every six months.
| Typically every second or third release makes
| it into the major distributions. Version
| 2.6.32 was released just two weeks ago, but
| it wonât actually make it to most distros.
| Nevertheless, most of the major features do
| make it onto the desktop, eventually.
|
| This past year has seen some amazing new work
| enter the kernel. Perhaps the most work
| centered around file systems with the
| introduction of Btrfs, SquashFS, FUSE, EXOFS
| and NILFS2 into mainline. For the majority of
| distributions, the new Ext4 file system has
| become the default (although it was not
| without its problems).
|
| Graphics architecture was re-worked which
| caused no end of issues for most machines
| with an Intel graphics card. Kernel-based
| mode setting (KMS) was introduced including
| support for Intel and Radeon cards. With
| 2.6.33 on the way the Nouveau driver for
| NVIDIA cards has just been merged into the
| mainline staging tree. Linux was also the
| first kernel to gain support for USB 3.0,
| although there are no consumer devices widely
| available yet.
