Management So is Linux to Ubuntu as DOS was to Windows? Where
can I find like a side by side comparison of Linux, Unix,
Gentoo, Windows and KDE?   • David,      You have asked for a
side by side comparison of apples, oranges, watermelons, squash,
and hogs. Everything is all mixed up together. What you really
need is a comparison of Linux OS's with Windows.      For that
purpose I would recommend that you download live disk versions
of a couple of Linux OS's that offer some actual differences. I
would recommend a few like OpenSuse, Gentoo, and Mint. OpenSuse,
Gentoo, and Mint use different packages to manage software and
have some fundamental differences that I won't bother to try to
explain because I can't; I'm not an IT guy, I'm a PE. By loading
the live disks you can run the OS from an optical drive and test
the nuts and bolts without making any actual changes to your
machine.      To insure that you are comparing apples to apples
and oranges to orange
