http://linuxlandit.blogspot.com – Well, done at last!  After some time gathering opinions from readers and quite some more time testing each one of the contenders, I have finished my comparison of the best of the best in KDE distros. ...Want to know the winner??  THE CONTENDERS. The final list of contenders was not directly extracted from the poll I put together. I decided to include some other distros at some readers request, as well as leaving one behind. The infamous leftover was Chakra, which I didn't manage to install (used both 2011.4 and 2011.9 images and followed all suggestions in the project's own (HowTos)

Ubuntu Netbook Remix vs Moblin 3 years 23 weeks ago

Over the last 12 months, netbook and mobile Linux has made massive advances in features and install base. This is primarily thanks to two netbook distributions - Moblin and Canonical's Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR). Both have built on the massive potential that was unlocked by the Asus Eee PC but led nowhere, as its operating system failed to inspire a new generation of Linux users.

Legions of Apple fanbois may be all aquiver as April 3 draws near, but that doesn't mean the rest of us don't have plenty to look forward to. Sure the iPad is arriving on the scene first, but there will be no shortage of Linuxy contenders not far behind.

Published at LXer:

Being benchmarked today at Phoronix is a comparison of eight different BSD and Linux operating systems. The contenders for this performance roundabout include PC-BSD 9.1, DragonFlyBSD 3.4.1, Ubuntu 13.04, Linux Mint 15 RC, CentOS 6.4, Fedora 18, Mageia 3, and openSUSE 12.3.

Problems with Linux. 2 years 27 weeks ago

I have tested several linux distros these last four years and I wanted to post my experiences and what just downright urks me.

Minded me as I only had a limited amount of time to test distros and only the ones I tested are included.

A big one that needs to be addressed first is the size. Linux used to be a really small OS. Heck it used to be able to fit on a floppy disk.

Dear Friends,

I am interested in installing multiple Linux distros on the same hard drive. Please tell me how I can do so. I have the following distros with me. Also let me know which one I should install from the list below. To be honest, I want to install all of them if possible. Which one I should install first, second etc.

Do I understand this correctly? When you install multiple distros on a UEFI system you only have to share the ESP. Each distro will use its own Grub. The finished /boot/efi/EFI will contain a folder for each of the 3 distros. ex. /boot/efi/EFI/redhat /boot/efi/EFI/debian /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu The reason I ask is that Auntie Google hasn't been that helpful.

I want to put my old laptop to use and install several of the most popular Linux distros on it. I currently have Windows 7 on it.

My question is: How do I create a set up such that when I start the laptop a list of all the different distros appear as options?

Linux has made its way from the desktop to the server room, and now it is poised to take over mobile devices. In fact, by at least one report it already has. But as mobile developers are painfully aware, the mobile space is quite fragmented, and there are many versions of Linux to target. Which one is best for your project?
