I have never written a review of a Linux distribution, but I've read more than I can count, and many of them have been maddeningly incomplete and not worth the time it took to read them. Here's a list of items you need to talk about in order to write a thorough review, covering every aspect of the distribution from the initial download to the final recommendation and everything in between.

ALT Linux, published by ALT Linux Ltd., a software vendor based in Moscow, Russia, is a distribution that originated from what used to be Mandrake Linux, now Mandriva Desktop.

When I first decided to do a Linux review I was going to approach it as I would view the experience. After thinking of my level of computer knowledge and some consideration I realized that it would be yet another tech review that was somewhat preaching to the choir. I wanted to be able to write this from the perspective of the majority of users out there.

This srticle is a review of ALT Linux 6 Simply, which was released on the same day as ALT Linux 6 KDesktop.

Ubuntu is an extremely popular Linux distribution. As usual, the servers got clogged with traffic from all the users trying to download Ubuntu all at once. After letting my Ubuntu installation sit for a while, I decide to write a review of it now.

This is a well written review of the VirtualBOX OSE (Open Source Edition) software for Linux. VirtualBox OSE is easy-to-use, free and supports most Linux distros as well as Windows.
