A Five-Way Linux Distribution Comparison In 2010
,----[ Quote ]
| With many Linux distributions receiving
| major updates in recent weeks and months we
| have carried out a five-way Linux
| distribution comparison of openSUSE, Ubuntu,
| Fedora, PCLinuxOS, and Arch Linux. We have
| quite a number of tests comparing the 32-bit
| performance of these popular Linux
| distributions on older PC hardware.
|
| Our test system was a Lenovo ThinkPad T60
| notebook with an Intel Core Duo T2400
| (1.83GHz dual-core) CPU, 1GB of system
| memory, an 80GB Hitachi HTS541080G9SA00 SATA
| HDD, and ATI Radeon Mobility X1400 graphics.
| Below are some of the key software
| components for the different distributions
| that were tested in this article.

| Linux has changed almost beyond recognition
| since version 1.0 in 1994 and Ubuntu is about
| as polished and professional as it gets. It's
| approaching the level of polish of Mac OS X,
| is faster and easier to install than Windows,
| includes a whole suite of apps and offers tens
| of thousands more, runs on cheap commodity
| hardware and costs nothing.
|
| Nobody knows quite how many Ubuntu users there
| are - it's not sold or licensed, there's no
| registration process and it doesn't "phone
| home" and identify itself, so it's hard to
| tell. Its creators reckon around 12 million,
| but then, the number-two distro on
| Distrowatch, Fedora, claims about twice as
| many.

Comparison: Best 2010 Linux desktop for begginers

| There you have it, a close comparison between
| these three fabulous Linux distros, resulting
| in very evenly matched scores. I personally
| love all three, each having its own character,
| strengths, but also weaknesses. Having said
| so, looking strictly for which one offers the
| smoothest and most intuitive experience, I
| would probably have to say that Linux Mint 9
| is the winner in my opinion.
|
| Hopefully this comparison will help you make
| your choice based on your own needs and taste.
| I am pretty sure any of the choices is a sure
| winner.
