It notes that Ubuntu and Linux Mint are well known for desktop use and include media codecs and automatic updates. Debian has been in use since 1993 and forms the base for many other distributions. Fedora features easy graphics driver installation and bleeding edge software. Red Hat is one of the earliest players and is focused on business use. SUSE was purchased by Novell in 2003. The document concludes that the best distribution depends on the user's needs.
