Review: Ark Linux H2O 2007.1
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall Ark is a pretty decent OS for the new user. It's got some rather
| bothersome show stopping bugs that need to be worked out before I can
| recommend it to new users, but like any little lump of coal, at some point in
| time it's going to turn into a little gem. So there is a lot of hope there
| for the future. Depending on how well Ark matures over the coming months and
| years, especially in how it handles hardware, I can't really see where this
| particular distribution couldn't easily find its way onto my short list of
| recommended distributions for the new user. It's certainly got the
| potential.

Why Linux Is Already A Success
,----[ Quote ]
| The thinking seems to go something like this. Linux has to succeed broadly on
| the desktop as an alternative to Windows because:
|
| * It’s a good way to support development of the OS and its attendant
| applications. People are more likely to invest in an existing success
| story than one that’s struggling.
| * Linux is a technologically better system and it deserves to win.
| * Someone has to stand up to bully-boy Microsoft.

| If you like KDE, is very unlikely that you will be disappointed with this
| distribution; if you prefer Gnome, maybe this is not the right distribution
| for you.
