5 Must Try Linux Distros
I’m going to gather some well known info about these five popular Linux distribution to give you small preview of Linux operating systems. This is not a top five, rather five distributions I know about. This article should give you an overview on what to choose.
I’m going to start with most popular distro of all time… Ubuntu, also one of the best Linux desktop operating systems. Ubuntu (the desktop edition) has has been a success story in recent years. It came from nowhere, becoming one of the most popular distros in just three years. For some of you who did not know, Ubuntu is a Debian derivative, ubuntuwith all the benefits that it brings. It is not a one-way street though, Ubuntu feeds improvements back to Debian. Being based on the testing branch, Ubuntu provides more recent software, although updates to newer versions normally only happen with new Ubuntu releases, with the obvious exception of security updates. But what appeals about Ubuntu so much is that it ‘just works’. You click the installer icon, answer a couple of questions and it takes care of the rest for you. Dual-booting with Windows is something that most installers handle, but Ubuntu is rare in that it also detects other Linux installations and adds them to its boot menu. You can try Ubuntu without partitioning or wiping your existing operating system with Wubi.
