Linux operating systems have come a long way from the difficult and technically complicated operating systems of the past. Today, Linux operating systems come in many different versions, or distributions, as they are commonly called.
All are based on the core Linux operating system (called the Kernel), but each is optimized for specific users.
We Recommend Linspire for Most Desktop Users and Red Hat or SuSE for File Servers. We recommend SuSE and Red Hat, both excellent products for servers. For most desktop or laptop computer users, we recommend Linspire. Linspire is designed specifically with the desktop/laptop in mind; it tends to do the best job with ease-of-use and supporting those features most important to desktop/laptop users (multi-media support, wide hardware support, plug and play support, laptop support, tutorials, etc.).
Mandriva is a great choice for experienced Linux users, developers, and "geeks."
