“No one can make the claim that Ubuntu isn’t becoming
the de facto Linux distro out there in the world today. It’s
becoming especially true when looking at those using Linux here in
the States. For new and die-hard users alike, Ubuntu has all but
captured the community.“Sadly, there is also a problem with watching Linux being tied
to a single experience. Choice goes right out the window. The fact
of the matter is that not everyone out there thinks that relying on
a single distro is the way to go.“So thankfully, despite Ubuntu’s success, there are some
fantastic alternatives out there that fit the needs of most people.
Simple to install, easy to use and all of them fit onto a LiveCD
– no DVD downloads, thanks.“In no order of importance, here are my strongest Ubuntu
alternative distros — no, they’re not based on Ubuntu in any
way.“1) Simply Mepis is Simply Fabulous”
