How to Choose a Desktop Linux Distribution - PC World

| | TrackBacks (0)
With all the many reasons to use Linux today--particularly in a business setting--it's often a relatively easy decision to give Windows the boot . What can be more difficult, however, is deciding which of the hundreds of Linux distributions out there is best for you and your business.

Post to multiple blogs here.

Judging by popularity statistics, as tracked both by Distrowatch and in a recent study at LinuxTrends, Ubuntu is clearly the most popular distribution, or "distro." There's no denying that Ubuntu has many benefits for business users; at the same time, there are many, many other possibilities, each offering its own twist on Linux.

Post entries to multiple blogs here.

If you or the other people in your office have never used Linux before, you'll probably want to stick with a distribution that's better suited to beginning users. This is one of Ubuntu's defining characteristics , but Fedora, Linux Mint, and business-friendly openSUSE can be good choices as well. Personally, I'd steer a brand-new user to either Ubuntu or Fedora.
