And the Best Community Linux Is…
Desktop Linuxes are improving so quickly that it's hard even for someone like me, who tracks operating systems the way some people track their favorite NFL team's game match-ups, to keep tabs on what's what with the latest distributions. That's even true for the major community Linux distributions: Fedora 8, OpenSUSE 10.3 and Ubuntu 7.10.
Nonetheless, since Fedora 8 arrived in mid-November, I've managed to use all three of them on my HP Pavilion a6040n desktop PC. This is an older, inexpensive system powered by a 1.86GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 dual-core processor.
"Which one is the best distribution?"
First, however, let me warn you right now that I didn't find a best, one-size-fits-all distribution. Frankly, I don't believe that such a thing exists. Everyone has different needs, different requirements. However, as I looked these over, it became clear to me that each of them is the best for a particular kind of user.
Let's start with the newest of the new: Fedora 8.

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
