The World Series of Linux (CMP Channel)

[Posted December 17, 2007 by ris]

CMP Channel compares Linux desktop distributions. Part 1 looks at the Debian based distributions Ubuntu, Freespire and Xandros. Part 2 looks at RPM based distributions SLED 10, Fedora 7 and PCLinuxOS. Part 3 pits the winners of part 1 and part 2 (Ubuntu and Fedora) against each other. "A close call, but Ubuntu wins the game and the title of Best Desktop Linux."
