most commonly used Linux version?

[Jim Herrmann]

Joe,
Since you were asking about desktop Linux, and the system administrators on
the list veered off into server land, let me bring this conversation back to
your original question.  You said you wanted to install a desktop and wanted
the most commonly used Linux version.  If you look at the vendors that are
selling retail desktops, to consumers, they are using Ubuntu.  If you are
looking for the more common business desktop, then use Windows, because
businesses don't install Linux on their desktops, well damn few anyway.
Only smaller, smarter companies, do that.  The big boys are all stuck with
Windows XP because it's too damn hard to change out 10,000 desktops of
people who need a three day class just to learn how to run M$-Word.  I'm
sure that some companies, more in Europe no doubt, are switching to Red Hat
and SuSE desktops, but if you want the most commonly used *consumer*
desktop, download Ubuntu here:  http://www.ubuntu.com/

I hope that actually answers your question and tip toes around the holy war
that still rages within the Linux community.  ;-)

HTH,
Jim
