Unfortunately, the answers are usually useless--anything from "Just try each one to see what works for you" to "Gnome is much better." That said, selecting a desktop environment should probably be one of the last things you worry about as a Linux "newbie." Hardware detection, email set-up, etc. are far more important to day-to-day functioning than your desktop environment. It's sort of like just learning how to ski and worrying about the color of your skis--learn how to ski first! Also, most versions (or distributions) of Linux have a default desktop environment (for example, Blag and Ubuntu default to Gnome, and Mepis and PCLinuxOS default to KDE) Computing > Linux narky Tue, 05 Sep 2006 03:41:15 GMT http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm If you've been pointed at this page, then the chances are you're a relatively new Linux user who's having some problems making the switch from Windows to Linux. This causes many problems for many people, hence this article was written. Many individual issues arise from this single problem, so the page is broken down into multiple problem areas. If you really want the security and performance of a Unix-based OS but with a customer-focussed attitude and an world-renowned interface: Buy an Apple Mac. OS X is great. But don't get Linux: It will not do what you want it to do.

It's entirely possible that you may not have heard of Linux. Maybe you own a Mac or Windows computer and don't read the technology news. You may have a TiVo, but it doesn't have a huge sticker on the box that reads "Powered by Linux" (even though it is). You may use Google, but it doesn't have any announcement on its homepage that it's run on Linux servers (even though it is). Whether you've heard of Linux or not--it probably plays a role in your life somehow.

I co-host a podcast called the Java Posse at javaposse.com, with three other Java guys, Tor Norbye, Carl Quinn and Joe Nuxoll Computing > Blogs narky Tue, 22 Aug 2006 08:18:48 GMT http://www.shopbot.com.au/p-6736.html Price Comparison - Australia Computing > Computer Games narky Sun, 14 Aug 2005 21:49:24 GMT http://www.staticice.com.au/ Australia's comprehensive computer hardware and gadget price comparison search engine Computing > Computer shops narky Sat, 19 Aug 2006 02:58:37 GMT http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/03/30/the-state-of-online-feed-readers/ Syndication is undoubtedly the heartbeat of the web 2.0 movement. A feed reader, the most common solution to consuming synidcated content, saves the user time by monitoring countless sites and sources and providing near real-time updates to one location.
