Over the past few articles, we have been extolling the virtues of Linux, and how and why you should use it. This article is slightly different. We are sure that many Windows users who read the previous articles scoffed at various points. Well, in this article, we are going to wear our Windows hat, and try to look at Linux from the point of view of a Windows evangelist.

Over the past few articles, we have spoken about Linux, taken a brief look at Mepis Linux, and checked out the state of gaming on Linux. Today's article is all about picking the right desktop distribution that fits your needs. Therefore, we will be looking at four mature distributions.

Xandros OCE 3.0.1 is released. Xandros i think, shud be tagged as Desktop Linux OS.

Mandrakelinux 10.2 Beta 2 has been released.

The first Slackware release of 2005, Slackware Linux 10.1 continues the long Slackware tradition of simplicity, stability, and security.

It's 2005 and the Linux juggernaut shows no sign of slowing down. Everywhere you look, Linux seems to be gaining steam. Home users are finally finding that they can use a Linux distribution without learning esoteric text commands. Everyday Linux is becoming more user-friendly and accessible. In fact, distributions have matured to the point where they can be the only operating system on a home computer. Except for one thing ? Gaming.
