Software Head-to-Head: SuSE Linux 8.1 vs. Red Hat Linux 8.0
Early Linux versions were far too technical and terrifying for the majority
of Windows users -- things have changed. Two of the year's most user-friendly
Linux distributions have closed the gap between Windows and Linux.

Review:
SuSE Linux 8.2 Professional
The best-looking Linux desktop OS around. And its installation
process is so smooth and uncluttered, this alone merits a chance
from Windows die-hards.
|
|
Review:
Red Hat Linux 9.0 Professional
Red Hat's latest version offers an improved interface and easier
installation -- but if you're new to Linux, you can save a few bucks
by trying the lower cost SuSE or Mandrake instead.
|
|
Review:
Mandrake Linux PowerPack Edition 9.0
MandrakeSoft has come as close as anyone to making Linux truly competitive
with Windows. It's brimming with bundled apps and can now automatically
partition a Windows NTFS drive, something Red Hat and SuSE can't
do.

Review:
Lindows 4.0
Easy to install and with an attractive desktop, this distribution
will appeal to any Windows user wanting to give Linux a try. Experienced
Linux users will decry Lindows' lack of installation options, but
as an entry-level Linux OS, Lindows 4.0 can't be beat. |
