Top 5 Free Linux Distributions for Desktop Computing in 2010
According to Nick Carr, marketing director of Red Hat, Linux desktop has developed very rapidly over the past few years. Even from the technology viewpoint the Linux desktop is well developed, feature rich and mature. What adds to the merit is the low cost, better security and manageability. It's also well suited to a wide range of customer deployments. Well, coming to the Linux distributions for Desktop computing, Red Hat's Fedora has created significant impact, but its not the only one in the market.

A typical desktop Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system and window manager. We delved into the Linux distributions for desktop computing and queued up a list of top 5 distros.
