Linux distros differ across each other quite a bit, each bringing some good (and of course some bad points) to the table. Between 6 months releases I look for incremental innovation so as to keep myself abreast of the latest trends. Actually Linux helped me to revive about 20-25 computers (some mine, Arindam Senhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08081209827341326458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-2543516313951028472013-01-25T07:33:35.224-08:002013-01-25T07:33:35.224-08:00Yes, agree totally.

I'm intrigued how do manage time, what keeps you interested in trying different distos, and how much they differ from each other, and how does that matter if they keep changing every 6 months?manmath sahuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18392773625626406680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402517875283707603.post-65127485206570333092013-01-23T13:45:32.900-08:002013-01-23T13:45:32.900-08:00Feels like they didn't bother to theme it, I...Feels like they didn't bother to theme it, I have used fedora spins with xfce that looked more like the current LXDE version.
