"Taking the Linux Plunge" article

Tech Support Forum Linux, BSD and Other OS's

Linux Forums has an article for the newbies wanting to know more about Ubuntu, SLED, Linspire and DSL.

note: Why it includes DSL, I don’t know, but it goes fairly deep compared to a lot of crappy “why not use linux” articles out there. I suppose it is one of the best options for really old hardware.

Enjoy,

Yeah, that’s a good artical.

[ot]I can’t stand DSL and Fluxbox. I don’t understand why DSL has created such a buzz either. Other then system recovery, what else is it good for? Nothing. Got an old computer? Install Ubuntu or Mandriva with WindowMaker :slight_smile: [/ot]

It can run on a system without a hard drive. If that is important to the user, then it is useful. It is made to be compact, fast and scalable. I don’t personally have a need for it, but I commend DSL for being different.
