1. To get started in the world of Linux gaming, we
recommend a trip to http://live.linux-gamers.net
2. The concept behind the distribution is boot and
play - just pop a USB drive, CD or DVD into your laptop, the distro will boot
and you can start gaming
3. The distro also goes some way to curing a major Linux
bugbear : graphics drivers
4. Moving on, you should also check out Fedora Games
Spin, which has over 100 games built-in
5. Finally, there's the Ubuntu based Ultimate
Edition for Gamers, which includes Wine and the PlayOnLinux app for playing
Windows games on Linux

Making movies
1. To
transform your hotel room into a movie-editing suite, you should grab a copy of
Ubuntu Studio for audio, video and graphic enthusiasts.
2. It's
also well worth checking out 64 Studio.
3. Alternatively,
ArtistX includes a huge range of video and audio editing tools.
Office work
1. OpenSUSE
looks professional, and is well integrated with the OpenOffice.org suite and
Evolution email client. It's available in two installable live CD flavour, as
well as a 4.7GB DVD image with lots of software.
2. You
also have access to a large collection of proprietary software on the mirrors
or via the non-OSS add-on CD.

To select a distribution, you
have to understand the purpose of use or the policy at which the distribution
aims at. Here, I will show you the differences of the distributions I found
after using them.
RedHat
Linux
Practically all of the Linux of RedHat series are based on this
distribution, so the introduction of a new kernel is earlier than in other
distributions. However, it might have more trouble in the first version
(version *.0) than other distributions of the RedHat series. For neophilia, I recommend version *.1 or later.
Turbo
Linux
It is moderately good for use in companies. There are various types,
such as for servers in Turbo Linux.
LASER5
Linux
This distribution allows for the easy use of Japanese, developed on the
basis of RedHat Linux. (Note that RedHat can be used in Japanese as well.) Most of the software for RedHat Linux can be used.
Kondara
MNU/Linux
Based on RedHat Linux, this distribution has introduced new useful
software. Therefore, it has different parts from other distributions of RedHat
series. For anyone liking novelties.
Vine
Linux
A Distribution with emphasis on the stability and enhancement of
Japanese environments, Based on RedHat Linux. There are fewer version upgrades
than other distributions of RedHat series.
For anyone wanting to use Japanese in plenty.
Slackware
The oldest distribution of Linux.
Considerable knowledge is required for package management. It is also necessary
to personally set up the Japanese environment.
For professionals or anyone wanting to understand the system "with a
will".
Plamo
Linux
Distribution which supports Japanese, based on Slackware. Although it supports Japanese, considerable
knowledge is required, as in the case of Slackware.
Debian
GNU/Linux
Distribution with enhanced
package management. It was developed mainly by users.
For anyone wanting to engage in the development of distribution (I suppose).
As shown above, there is a great variety of
distributions. Since their software can be installed and deleted individually
after installation, it is possible to make similar environments whichever you
select. If you want to try using Linux for the first time,
I would recommend RedHat Linux or the highly compatible LASER5 Linux, from the
viewpoints of the easy installation, large collections of information and the
handling of bugs and security holes.
A number of application software programs as well as the kernel is
needed to run as an OS, but software applications necessary depend on the
specific purpose of use or policy. This is the difference of distributions, so
there are many distributions. The biggest difference is the management method of
a package (software) shown as follows:
RedHat series
The package management is by rpm. It is easy to install, upgrade and so
on. The main distributions are the following:
·RedHat
Linux
·Turbo
Linux
·LASER5
Linux
·Kondara
MNU/Linux
·Vine
Linux
There are more distributions than other series of Linux.
Slackware series
Since it has no management tool, users manage all. It requires
considerable knowledge, but it has a high degree of flexibility, so it is
popular among the users understanding the system. The main distributions are the following:
·Slackware
·Plamo
Linux
Debian series
The package management is by deb. It is more powerful than that by rpm
and closely manages even the dependency relation among the software. The main distribution is the following:
