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. Another
remarkable Linux distribution for the desktop is on the rise, a
completely free distro Ubuntu. It has been widely supported by
online communities. While it would be great to include several
distributions on this list, the reality is we had to filter out the
best Linux distribution for desktop computing. 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.”
