And the best distro of 2010 is ...
That time of the year again. Unlike the last time, where I created a number of important categories, like security, usability, support, stability, and others, and then examined how each of the selected Linux distributions fared in each, this time, I'll use a different scoring method.
For 2010, we will use brand new criteria. Rather than limiting ourselves to a small number of nominees, we will go wild with the range of distribution, and then take a look at their relative impact throughout 2010. For example, the best performing distribution in terms of good looks. Or the distribution with highest number of good changes or fewest security bugs. As always, this will be entirely subjective, so don't get pissed off after reading the article. If you find the end result unsatisfactory, write something and post a response of your own.
Biggest change in terms of GUI (a.k.a. looks)
Linux distributions change a lot, all the time. While there is some overall consistency in what they look like, sometimes, you get major overhauls. The theme is changed, the icons are replaced with a new set, and maybe even the buttons are shifted from right to left.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
