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.
Eugenia - "For the most part, Xandros, Lycoris and Lindows have a common goal (the desktop), so their offerings are similar and they were represented in this article by Ark Linux"
Oh, so Xandros, which has been repeatedly reviewed to be one of the best linux distros for desktop plus hardware/software ease-of-use (Debian base), is represented by a piece of ALPHA code?
