This (quite long) article has been written by me for two primary reasons: One, to hopefully save someone else the time and hassle associated with trying out various Linux distributions, and two, to promote some discussion and feedback regarding what a modern Linux distribution should be, and of course to contrast this with what is currently available. I am exploring the offerings of MS Windows, BeOS and MacOSX, and then taking on a number of well-known Linux distributions.
This guy didn't mention anything about hardware support and getting it to work on their os easily. How good is this in his linux distros? I'd bet it would be horrible. Or did he/she suddenly decided to throw away the hardware support and just depend on the software?
