Comments on The Perfect Desktop - Part 2: Mandriva Free 2007

The Perfect Desktop - Part 2: Mandriva Free 2007 With the release of Microsoft's new Windows operating system (Vista), more and more people are looking for alternatives to Windows for various reasons. This tutorial is the second in a series of articles where I will show people who are willing to switch to Linux how they can set up a Linux desktop (Mandriva Free 2007 in this article) that fully replaces their Windows desktop, i.e. that has all software that people need to do the things they do on their Windows desktops. The advantages are clear: you get a secure system without DRM restrictions, and the best thing is: all software comes free of charge.

For development, there is another free tool out there: Komodo Edit. It's great for PHP, Perl, Python, RoR (Ruby), etc, much better than Quanta and others for beyond-HTML development. It's very nice and it's a free download :)
