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.

| The release of Ark Linux 2007.1 also marks the beginning of the development 
| cycle for Ark Linux 2007.2 - over the next few days, we will upgrade our 
| development tree "dockyard-devel" to snapshots of the upcoming KDE 4.0 
| desktop. Ark Linux 2007.2 is expected to be released shortly after KDE 4.0 - 
| a pre-release for developers and people who are curious about KDE 4.0 will be 
| made available as soon as the migration is complete.

Ark Linux H2O - 2007.1

| 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.
