The Linux Desktop Experience For 2010

,----[ Quote ]
| But personally, I think Xubuntu is a really 
| great desktop experience because of itâs key 
| applications and the fact that itâs really 
| customizable and easy to do just that.
| 
| Itâs a great choice as well for people to 
| experience for the first time the use of the 
| XFCE environment as a desktop experience that 
| you can build confidence in and get the kind 
| of desktop you really want.
| 
| And itâs a desktop that will appeal right up 
| until the next release which I may add comes 
| regularly so make sure you watch out for 
| them.
| 
| The XFCE desktop is a environment that works 
| well for most hardware as well which makes it 
| great for old computers and can really give 
| your new computers a real edge in terms of 
| being super quick in everything you do with 
| your desktop.

| In 2008, The HeliOS Project built, placed and supported 329 computers where
| they were needed.  Sometimes it was necessary to travel over 100 miles to do
| it.  Admittedly, 329 computers doesnât sound like much.  Not many at all in
| the scope of things.  That is until you take into consideration one relevant
| fact.
|
| It was done almost exclusively by one man.  One guy in a a beat up old Isuzu
| Rodeo with questionable braking ability and over a quarter million miles on
| itâthatâs averages out to 1 computer installed in a childâs home every 26.6
| hours in a yearâs time.
