A Visual Comparison Between XP And Mandrake

Posted by timothy on from the look-and-feel- dept.

Mifflesticks points to this interesting "visual comparison" between Mandrake 8.0 and Windows XP. Even though it's specifically a visual / aesthetic comparison, this piece actually sums up the good things about XP -- good device detection, multiple users set up from the install, improved network configuration -- better than anything else I've seen. The conclusion seems to be that anyone who's set up a modern Linux distro (Mandrake in particular) on supported hardware would find nothing too new in XP.

    What's with all these /dev entries in Mandrake 8.0. There must be over 8 megabytes worth. I sure hope MandrakeSoft cleans this up in their next release.

    Say, "redundant" to what?

    Where in this article are Xerox machines, Lisas and Macs mentioned? Is it redundant in your head?

    Or do you like to have a big car because you think you have a small penis?
