Top 5 Free Linux Distributions for Desktop Computing in 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| According to Nick Carr, marketing director
| of Red Hat, Linux desktop has developed
| very rapidly over the past few years. Even
| from the technology viewpoint the Linux
| desktop is well developed, feature rich
| and mature. What adds to the merit is the
| low cost, better security and
| manageability. It's also well suited to a
| wide range of customer deployments. Well,
| coming to the Linux distributions for
| Desktop computing, Red Hat's Fedora has
| created significant impact, but its not
| the only one in the market. Another
| remarkable Linux distribution for the
| desktop is on the rise, a completely free
| distro Ubuntu. It has been widely
| supported by online communities. While it
| would be great to include several
| distributions on this list, the reality is
| we had to filter out the best Linux
| distribution for desktop computing. A
| typical desktop Linux distribution
| comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and
| libraries, additional software,
| documentation, a window system and window
| manager. We delved into the Linux
| distributions for desktop computing and
| queued up a list of top 5 distros.
