Subject: [Gov-list] Linux in Government: Linux Desktop Reviews,Part 6 -
Ubuntu | Linux Journal


This is the sixth article in a round-up of Linux Desktop distributions
for the enterprise.

The Ubuntu distribution surprised me in a pleasing way. The more I use
it and learn about it, the more impressed I have become. We plan to do a
more exhaustive study of these desktops in a print article for Linux
Journal. We also plan an extensive report available for enterprises and
available from our web site this summer.

I strongly recommend that people get a partition on their computer and
install Ubuntu so you can see what all the excitement is about!

If you can afford it, buy a second hard disk and a couple of
interchangeable disk caddies.  You can then avoid the hassle of
dual-boot systems, and eliminate the risk of accidentally damaging both
partitions.  It gives a much better psychological feeling that you can
experiment in safety.  An older, small hard disk will do fine - you can
run a very useful Linux system on a 10GB disk.
