LINUX- AN INTRODUCTION TO THE VARIOUS FLAVOURS Part-1
PART 1 will focus in the versions suitable for new user and absolute beginner in Linux
LINUX is probably the most heard word in the present computing world. LINUX and the Free and open source (FOSS) practically took the world by storm. LINUX is a modular UNIX-like operating and derives much of its basic from UNIX and due to this it was the Operating System of choice for servers thanks to its remarkable stability. But now LINUX has grown out of the servers and into the desktop world for everyday use providing an easy to use graphical user interface and MS compatible office applications like word processors, spreadsheets, presentations, and multimedia experience.
The penguin (TUX) has also invaded the mobile devices and all is for the great future!!
Today we are going to look in some of the most important flavours of LINUX suitable for everyday use as well as some of the favourites of the geeks.
1) UBUNTU
An extremely great distro is Debian based and runs with the GNOME user interface. If you are new to LINUX or planning to switch from Windows Os or may be just want to try (Its free after all) this is for you. You get all the essential software from media players to office applications out of box and the software centre provide you thousands of free software if you want to get creative. Low system requirements, support graphics cards and as stable as a rock.
