The Linux Distribution Game

Posted by timothy on from the move-your-token-6-spaces dept.

Ladislav Bodnar writes: "I have installed and used many Linux distributions. The editorial, entitled The Linux Distribution Game is the result of my personal experiences - it aspires to be a gentle introduction to the many distributions out there. The rest of the DistroWatch site provides pure facts; this is the only exception, although I promise to be as unbiased as possible." This page is nearly worth it for the logos alone; the links to obscure and semi-obscure distributions are a nice resource.

    The problem is that XP is not really an operating system. It's a vehicle designed to get people signed up with passport. It is also a medium to deliver windows users advertising. It's also a vehicle for media comapnies to erase unlicenced images, sounds and videos from your computer. That winXP also acts as an operating system is entirely coincedental. It's primary mission is to sell other MS products, sell advertsing and make money for partners of MS and of course harm MS competitiors.

    It's a tarpit for suckers and fools.
