The hardcore route:
Installing Lenny
,----[ Quote ]
| As far as the changes between Lenny and Etch there are a whole lot of them
| and the official documents on the Debian site will be more specific than I
| can. The kernel that is currently with Lenny is 2.6.26 in my case I have
| 2.6.26-1-686. The newer kernel has a lot of new features which I found out
| when compiling a 2.6.26-3-686 kernel last week to see the changes.

Pardus Linux

| Overall, though, working with Pardus has been a very pleasant surprise so
| far. A very auspicious start indeed.

PC-BSD: Another Alternative To Linux As A Windows Alternative

| If PC-BSD is to be a serious contender alongside the Ubuntus, Fedoras,
| Mandrivas and OpenSUSEs of the computing world, there is still some work to
| be done on that proclaimed 'ease-of-use' issue.

Review: PC-BSD 1.5
,----[ Quote ]
| PC-BSD, a strong contender for the top desktop distribution out there, has
| once again grown, going from version 1.3 to 1.5 in just under a year. In
| that time it's grown, prospered, and had it's fair share of growing pains as
| well. But version 1.5 is only one subversion up from the previous version
| 1.4 that we reviewed. So what makes version 1.5 better than its predecessors
| and worth a look from us? Well, let's have a look.

First look at PC-BSD 1.5

| Compiz Fusion is included in this release and worked really well. There's a
| menu entry which, when clicked, asks if you'd like to enable it at boot. When
| clicked, Compiz Fusion is immediately enabled and special effects are
| available. I didn't suffer any instability or performance issues when using
| this application, but it did seem to require the restart of X to disable the
| feature.

My Vietnamese Students used PC-BSD
,----[ Quote ]
| Most of them were successful though all preferred doing their projects in
| Linux, that is what they told me. The bash shell in PCLinuxOS, according to
| them, was easier since it told them which directory they were in. In short,
| they got used to seeing $ /usr/home/guest/Desktop in PCLinuxOS while in
| PC-BSD, they only saw $. pwd I kept telling them :)
