USA Today analisa cinco distribuições Linux

O USA Today publicou um interessante artigo, analisando a viabilidade do Linux no desktop.

"The amount of time, money and resources needed to secure Windows desktops in large IT settings have begun to add up to an expensive line item on the budget. Thus, many IT departments are looking into Linux as a viable alternative to their current desktop investments.

Linux is especially attractive because:

• In many cases, it can be deployed using existing hardware.
• It is less frequently targeted by hackers and others looking to exploit security gaps.
• Its design makes it less vulnerable to security risks than other operating systems.
• Its open-source foundation makes it easier to rapidly identify and resolve security issues; in many cases, this can be accomplished in hours, not days or months.

With security, cost, usability and reliability in mind, we recently set out to evaluate the current state of Linux desktop interfaces and determine just how viable they really are for casual business users."
