I have been using Redhat since RH6, until the most recent Redhat Fedora Core 4. The image gets bigger and bigger -- 4 CD-ROM images and lots of updates. It seems not a good choice for personal desktop anymore. My Fedora Core 4 desktop has one thing not nice. It can't wake up from standby. I decide to switch.
Ubuntu is the most talked about Linux desktop distro. It is compact, fits in one CD-ROM. It is totally free, even via CD-ROM media. It can run directly from LiveCD without any installation. To try it out, I download the Ubuntu 5.10 VMware image. It runs smoothly within my Windows XP desktop. The software packages management is really nice.
