Ubuntu Linux is a complete Linux operating system with both community and professional support. Ubuntu has been around for only a few years, but has grown to be one of the most popular Linux distros ever.

Ubuntu Linux is suitable for both desktop and server use. Ubuntu supports Intel x86, 64-bit AMD, and PowerPC chips.

Ubuntu Linux includes more than 16,000 pieces of software, but the core installation fits on a single CD. Ubuntu includes word processing, spreadsheets,internet browsers, web servers, email, programming tools, games, and many more. Overall, Ubuntu Linux is very solid, and very well crafted, even though it seems sparse compaired to other more polished distros.

SUSE LINUX is the international technology leader and solutions provider in Open Source operating system software.

SUSE LINUX was acquired by Novell, Inc in November 2003.

Slackware, started by Patrick Volkerding in late 1992, and initially released to the world on July 17, 1993, was the first Linux distribution to achieve widespread use.

There are many reasons why Slackware is Linux's oldest living distribution. It does not try to emulate Windows, it tries to be as Unix-like as possible. It does not try to cover up processes with fancy, point-and-click GUIs (Graphical User Interfaces). Instead, it puts users in control by letting them see exactly what's going on. Its development is not rushed to meet deadlines-each version comes out when it is ready.

PCLinuxOS comes fully equipped with just about everything a desktop user would want in an operating system. Browse the web, send and recieve emails, chat with friends on Yahoo, MSN, AOL and IRC. Play games, listen to MP3's, share files, rip CDs and watch videos. You can also burn CDs, DVDs, import, view and edit pictures. Our office suite allows you to write letters, do spreadsheets,drawings and slide presentations.

MEPIS Linux is a desktop Linux system that is also easy to configure as a dedicated server. It is designed for both personal and business purposes. It includes cutting-edge features such as a live / installation / recovery CD, automatic hardware configuration, NTFS partition resizing, ACPI power management, WiFi support, anti-aliased TrueType fonts, a personal firewall, KDE, and much more.

Mandriva Linux (formerly Mandrakelinux) was created in 1998 with the goal of making Linux easier to use for everyone.MandrakeSoft integrate the best graphical desktop environments and contribute its own graphical configuration utilities and quickly became famous for setting the standard in ease-of-use and functionality. Mandriva Linux offers all the power and stability of Linux to both individuals and professional users in an easy-to-use and pleasant environment.

KNOPPIX is a bootable Live system on DVD, features automagic hardware detection, and supports most any hardware you can try it on. KNOPPIX is one of the first "live" CD distros and is the most polished I have tried. It can be used as a Linux system for the desktop just like it is. It also can be used as a rescue CD to recover your system, or can be modified and used as a platform for just about anything you can think of!

It is not necessary to install it on a hard disk, just boot up the Cd, and in 5 minitues you will have a fully operational Linux system to try. If you want, user data can be stored on USB keys and swap partions will automatically be used to add more memory for applications. Knoppix is based on Debian and the DVD version I sell includes thousands of applications.
