The most eye-catching Linux release in the world

Article title: The most eye-catching Linux release in the world. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

The so-called "most eye-catching" is the most eye-catching significance. So which Linux release has attracted the most attention recently? Answer: The Mint 7 KDE version released in August 3. Why?

As you know, Windows 7 looks dumb. However, the Mint 7 release does not show any weakness, and its appearance is like the lotus flower ). See linuxmint.com "> www.linuxmint.com. In August 5, at www.distrowatch.com, Ubuntu ranked first in the world in the recent week. However, it is far from enough. What is the key? Applicable? Why is the Mint 7 release so eye-catching?

The Mint release originated from Ireland, a popular place for FOSS. The development philosophy of the Mint release edition is to be more exquisite and applicable. This version is based on Kubuntu 9.04 and aims to provide a more complete and available user experience, it is implemented by adding browser plug-ins, multimedia codecs, DVD players, Java, and other related components. It also adds a set of customized desktops and various menus, some unique configuration tools, and a Web-based software package installation interface. The biggest feature of this version is to satisfy the customer's actual needs. Generally, when you run the Mint release and experience it in person, you will never let it go.

The real situation is that the global IT industry is on the eve of the release of Windows 7. In the Windows and Linux camps, people are watching this battle. The appearance of the Mint release edition is only a battle of the Linux camp. behind it is the Linux family headed by the Ubuntu 9.10 release edition, the Google Chrome Group Army was vaguely visible. At present, Windows 7 is facing a severe situation, making it difficult to rival Linux. Microsoft officially knows this grim situation (see Microsoft's 10-K annual report to the SEC ).

That's what I think. The true advantage of Microsoft is the social influence that its products (such as XP) have nurtured over the years. to put it bluntly, the influence is the user's loyalty. Even if the Mint release is good, the user's eyes will not look at it. It is really difficult for users to make a choice between XP and Mint. Therefore, I want to put the Mint release into a self-boot USB flash drive and use the iso file free download and distribution mode as a gift for them (XP users ), they are not required to make such a difficult choice. For XP users, the self-boot USB flash drive is just a common computer attachment, gadgets, can be used, disposal is very casual. Even if a user uses a self-boot USB flash drive, the user's XP identity cannot be changed (not required. This XP identity is very important. In this way, the user's XP identity can be retained, but the user often uses the Mint self-starting USB flash drive (no additional money. To this end, I suggest Shenzhen ubento develop a Chinese Mint release version self-starting USB flash drive, but it cannot be used as the installation disk of the Mint system (that is, there is no installation function ), to avoid directly threatening the XP system on the hard disk. Five years ago, I once advocated dual (boot) system mode. Five years later, I advocated attaching the self-starting USB flash drive mode to a single system, and did not force the user to make a Choice ), this is an improvement!

(Note: On weekdays, Mint releases accounted for 3rd ~ 4, also famous .)
