It's not exhaustive, but
informative. Joshua Drake has been using Linux professionally for over 10 years, and he shares his opinions and
comparisons in an admittedly subjective but thorough
comparison
of the five major Linux distros for "non geeks." The comparisons are between Red Hat ES, Novell SLES,
Fedora FC4, OpenSuSE 10, and Ubuntu Breezy Badger. Notice Linspire isn't in there? Again, this isn't exhaustive, but
it's a quick read, especially if you know someone considering Linux, but they don't know which "Linux" to
pick. I've been playing with Ubuntu myself lately, and will post some thoughts on it soon.

5 Comparsions were spot on, to me any way. The only thing i totaly disagree on is Ubuntu.
I was totaly thrown out of wack when trying to setup 3
partitions via the partition software.
If there was a step 1,2,3 ect guide or even an automated script the process would have been much simpler. Th Ubuntu live Cd is Number 1 though.
Sorry but i have to go with OpenSuSE 10 even though i
use Mandrivia myself.
