Break your Ubuntu Addiction: Three Strong Distros

,----[ Quote ]
| I consider Simply Mepis to be among the 
| first distro to get it "right" for people 
| looking for a no-hassle, stable experience 
| with a generally consistent environment from 
| release to release.
| 
| At its core, Simply Mepis is created to make 
| things easy to use right out of the box for 
| any Linux skill level. Despite being a KDE-
| only distro based on Debian, Mepis allows 
| the end user to setup their network, video 
| configuration and other settings from the 
| Simple Mepis "assistants."
| 
| This is handy when you want to switch from 
| the NVIDIA NV driver to a proprietary driver 
| instead, yet wish to do so safely from a GUI 
| environment.

The Reg guide to Linux, part 2: Preparing to dual-boot

,----[ Quote ]
| On Monday, we suggested Ubuntu as a good 
| starting point for experimenting with 
| desktop Linux. If you have the option, 
| dedicate a machine to it â by 2010 
| standards, even a modest-spec PC will run it 
| fine. You'll be very pleasantly surprised by 
| the transformation from a lumbering old XP 
| box burdened with years of cruft to one with 
| a fresh install of an OS that doesn't need 
| multiple layers of security software.
