Linux in Government: Linux Desktop Reviews, Part III (Linux Journal)

[Posted March 28, 2005 by ris]

Linux Journal looks at Red Hat's Desktop offering for business and government desktops. "Prior to using Red Hat's Enterprise Linux desktop, I gave Sun's Java Desktop System my highest rating for look and feel, ease of use and administration. As of this writing, Red Hat has pulled ahead as the "best of class" desktop. One example of why RHEL took the lead can be seen in Figure 2; here, you can see that Red Hat greatly simplified its launch menu and improved its desktop rendering. Even compared with Fedora's design and the last RH public version, RH 9, the menu system has become easier to use and the graphical presentation has improved."
