Linux OS Distribution Characteristics - Linux Distro Checklist Summary - Linux Training CDs
Here is a summary of the main characteristics to look for in a Linux distribution:
A Comprehensive and Easy-To-Use Installation Routine
Make sure your Linux distro has an installation routine that you can easily follow - step-by-step - to put the Linux OS, GNU commands and other Linux software programs on the hard disk(s) of a system.
One or More Linux Desktops - For A Point-And-Click GUI Environment
Try out the main Linux desktops (GNOME or KDE) and possibly try out others to see which one you like the "look and feel" of the best.
You may want to get free (by download)
or very inexpensive (by mail) Linux "live" CDs or DVDs to find out which Linux desktop you like the best. And then be sure that the Linux distro you decide to use offers that Linux desktop.
Linux Application Software Programs - Open Office Suite And "Others"
Make sure your Linux distro has the application software programs and other software programs you need to use - and if not, see if you can get the software you need at:
Other Hardware Drivers - Provide Communication Between Linux and Hardware
Before you decide on the Linux distro that's right for you - and before installing it - be sure to do a very detailed check that ALL of your computer system hardware components - especially printers, modem (if you use one) and video card - will work and allow you to access all the features of your hardware.
Linux Distribution Documentation
Make sure you read sample sections of the Linux software manuals for the Linux distribution that you're thinking of using - and that the manuals are easy-to-use, up-to-date and easy to read.
