Choosing a desktop Linux distro (DesktopLinux)
With so many Linux distributions out there, picking the one for you can be
tough. DesktopLinux attempts to
narrow the choices based on some common criteria. "
I think the best Linux desktop is the one that's best for a particular person based on their needs and level of Linux expertise. So, the next time someone asks you that question, I suggest you reply with a couple of questions of your own. For example, you could ask, "Do you want to replace Windows? For home? For work? Are you interested in Linux because you want to get some new life out of an old system? Do you just want to mess around with Linux?""
