Great spring for distros
As we are just about ready to head into summer beginning this weekend, I want to report that it has been a great spring for Linux distributions. I wanted to review some of the great stuff that has come out recently.
I believe that Mandriva 2008.1 Spring Edition was one of the first major distributions of the Spring and it was a good one indeed. Mandriva has great wireless support, a feature that I really use a lot these days, since I do most of my computing on laptops - mine are faster than any of my desktops, plus they are much quieter and consume far fewer energy resources. Mandriva is not the only one who has done a good job with wireless; they were simply one of the first to do it well - and it shows in derivative works, such as the MCNLive effort and the PCLinuxOS project.
Fedora is now in the game, vastly improving, not only wireless, but many other things as well.
