Beginner's Guide to Linux Distros

Posted by Zonk on from the pick-your-poison dept.

Martin writes "TipMonkies has a nice overview of various Linux distros for those of you with little time to research each distro yourself. The article also discusses some of the advantages/disadvantages of each distro." From the article: "SUSE- The 'U' is hard and the 'E' is soft. Almost like the word sue with an S on the end. SUSE is the other big commercial distro. It was when it was still it's own company in Germany, and now even bigger since being purchased by Novell."

    What a dumb name. Even worse than "Debian." At least that one's pronounceable.

    Yeah, thanks... I like my Windows XP just fine, thanks. :)

    Sorry, but this guy could use a beginner's guide to its and it's. Though I'm sure what he says is insightful, it makes it that much harder to respect.
