Reviews: Desktop Linux For Small Business |
| ZDNet has published a comprehensive round-up of reviews of several major Linux distributions, with emphasis on small business needs. The winner? Ubuntu Linux 5.10: "We emerged from our Linux experience with a strong preference for Ubuntu Linux 5.10, with SUSE Linux 10 a close second. Both did everything we required of them, and both have very low setup costs. Ubuntu, in particular, costs absolutely nothing to purchase. If you prefer to deal with a consultancy-like support service, then Novell Linux Desktop 9, may be a good move, while the very corporate Red Hat Desktop 4, could prove a sensible option for companies with large numbers of desktops." The feature starts here, while the individual distribution reviews follow on these pages: Ubuntu Linux 5.10, SUSE Linux 10.0, Novell Linux Desktop 9, Red Hat Linux 4 Desktop, Mandriva Linux 2006. See also the discussion on Slashdot. |

| About Ubuntu |
| Ubuntu is a complete desktop Linux operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. The Ubuntu community is built on the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language and despite any disabilities, and that people should have the freedom to customise and alter their software in whatever way they see fit. "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world. |
