Year in Review: Software and desktops in 2009 

,----[ Quote ]
| This was followed in November by the latest 
| flavour of Linux, in the guise of a Karmic 
| Koala, the interesting name for Ubuntu 9.10, 
| which for a free OS proved to be really very 
| good indeed, and certainly worth a look for any 
| company thinking about divorcing Microsoft.

Operating Systems of 2009

,----[ Quote ]
| For those who, like me, like to play around 
| with different operating systems, 2009 saw some 
| interesting developments. The following four 
| operating systems especially made an impression 
| on me during the past year.
| 
| Kubuntu
| 
| Kubuntu is, despite being an ubuntu-derivative, 
| a very decent operating system. And since the 
| addition of KDE4, it actually looks nice too! 
| It does not feel like a bloated system, it is 
| fast and responsive, even if you donât have 3d 
| acceleration available.

| 6. Ubuntu â Linux for the rest of us
|
| Running Linux on a desktop in the early part of
| this decade was not a job for the faint-
| hearted, and certainly not for "normal" people.
| Ubuntu helped change that, making Linux a
| viable alternative to Windows for your average
| chap (or chappess.) But although Ubuntu is a
| well-known name, the reality is it has a tiny
| user base. In the coming years it could easily
| end up losing out to bigger distros with more
| marketing muscle. Or even to Windows.
