[News] Introducing Windows Vista Escapees to GNU/Linux Distributions, YDL 5.0.1 Released

What's a [Linux] newbie to do?

,----[ Quote ]
| Many more people are becoming interested in GNU/Linux, as even
| seasoned Microsoft users and advocates are beginning to question
| the issues surrounding the latest operating system from Redmond.
| The variety of GNU/Linux distributions, while a good thing, can 
| make a difficult time for a user, especially a new user. There
| are many desktop and server distributions, such as Red Hat, SUSE,
| Debian and Fedora. There are also many derivatives, like CentOS,
| Ubuntu and Mepis, as well as specialized distributions like Knoppix,
| DSL and Knoppmyth.

| Specialized Linux distributions aren't for everyone. If they were,
| they wouldn't be specialized, would they? But they do demonstrate
| the power and flexibility inherent in Linux, and offer unique
| alternatives to one-size-fits-all operating systems.

Yellow Dog Linux 5.0.1 - Shareware Beat

,----[ Quote ]
| With over 2000 applications available with Linux, there are often
| several available applications for each desired function. In the
| interest of making simple the use of Yellow Dog Linux for first-time,
| even advanced users, we have created a set of packages installed by
| default (an advanced installation option is available) which offer
| all that you need to enjoy your Linux desktop experience. Remember,
| the packages listed below are just a small selection of the vast
| quantity available to you, included with the YDL Install DVD and
| through on-line resources. While YDL v5.0 installs and defaults to
| E17, both KDE and Gnome desktops may be installed and be made
| available to you at log-in.
