The Top 7 Best Linux Distributions for You

Submitted by Jasen on Thu, 09/09/2010 - 10:47

  There are various approaches to answering this question. The broad answer is: "any of them," but that's not very helpful if you're just looking for a place to start.

The problem is, there never can be one best Linux distribution for everyone, because the needs of each user tend to be unique. Telling someone who's looking for a good introductory distribution to try Gentoo, for instance, would be a mistake because for all its positive qualities, Gentoo is decidedly not a beginner's distro.

Open source is a development method for software that harnesses the power of distributed peer review and transparency of process. The promise of open source is better quality, higher reliability, more flexibility, lower cost, and an end to predatory vendor lock-in.

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) is a non-profit corporation formed to educate about and advocate for the benefits of open source and to build bridges among different constituencies in the open-source community.

Over the last few years I have been blown away by Ubuntu and it's progression, I am happy to say I have not booted into my windows os's in over 2 years, but I get plenty of practice fixing Windows for clients.

Ubutuntu 10.04 has some real ground breaking features this go around, with new out-of-box support for most wireless cards, Nvidia graphics cards, and all the mobile broadband cards I could throw at it, including sprint, cricket, also my palm-pre as a usb network device.

The Best Free Virus and Spyware Protection Programs

Submitted by Jasen on Wed, 03/17/2010 - 21:06

Viruses and Spyware are a real problem if you run windows, over the years I have tried all the options, pros and cons. I used to use Norton Antivirus, which I have always been happy with the protection but not the price, like $70 a year, which is pretty steep, personally any price on software is to steep, but there are many free alternatives...
