“TurboLinux really excels in the installation department.”
“The TurboLinux desktop look pretty and is clear that the
TurboLinux Makers have put much more effort into it than their
competition have on their defaults desktops.”
“The hardware setup tools doesn’t offer the depth of setup
choices that some other tools out there do, but when introducing
Linux to new users, giving them tools that automatically detects
their graphics, network cards and sound cards is a great boon. Most
Linux distributions out there set up the first two during
installation, but TurboLinux is the first that I have come across
that also offers it after installation.”
“One of the things that got me to look at Turbolinux was its
alleged RedHat compatibility. This was the thing that had turned me
away from Caldera and SuSE earlier. I prefer to use RPM packages
myself when installing new software, because it eases the
deinstallation process later on, and I definitely prefer teaching
my friends how to use GnoRPM or Turbopkg rather than tell them how
to compile a program (For most non-coders this is a Linux
turn-off). Almost all RPM packages out there are made for Redhat,
so RedHat interoperability is a need-to-have in my eyes.”
“TurboLinux definitely moves in the right direction when it
comes to making Linux more friendly and easy to use.”
