Microsoft went on the offensive earlier this week, announcing a study in which Windows Server trounced Novell's SUSE Enterprise Linux in both reliability and ease of use over a period of one year. Novell says the report simply "aims to confuse the market." In a company blog posting, Novell PR manager Kevan Barney notes that Microsoft funded the Security Innovation study, and says, "Independent studies regularly credit Linux in general, and SUSE Linux in particular, as secure, reliable, supported platforms."

Review: Mandriva Linux 2006

MandrakeLinux always had a reputation as an ideal distribution for beginners. Now that the renamed Mandriva has included technologies from Conectiva and Lycoris into Mandriva Linux 2006, this reputation seems more justified than ever.
