Turbolinux, Bluepoint, Redflag, Mandrake are friendlier and more stable in the user interface than the first three, with Turbo, Bulepoint, and Redflag built with Chinese support, It should be the best choice for someone who has just transferred from Windows to Linux.

And such as Xterm, Lenovo happy, such as the user interface is more excellent, built-in Chinese support, bundled more games, Office software, more suitable for Linux users or beginners to use.
