ZDNET UK: CeBIT 2000: “Consumer” Linux from Finland

“Kannesto doesn’t believe that the Linux distributing market is
already too crowded, and adds that Best Linux is trying to open up
a new user base — ordinary consumers.”

“We are targeting home users, and that is something that has
been missing from the market. I think that all the Linux
distributors work together to fight Microsoft anyway,” he
said….”

“Best Linux will succeed in the consumer area — which has
already been staked out by Corel — through focusing on simplicity
from the ground up, Kannesto says. Best Linux offers an
out-of-the-box basic operating system with many of the more
complicated applications disabled.
The system comes with a CD
packed with 145 games, including some commercial demos and even a
few emulated Commodore 64 games for retro fans.”
