Linux桌面分布在2007年 According to DesktopLinux.com’s just completed survey, the number of Desktop Linux users has more than doubled in 2006, and Ubuntu remains the no.据desktoplinux.com奇摩刚完成的调查，有多少Linux桌面系统的用户增加了一倍以上， 2006年和Ubuntu仍然是否定的。 1 Linux distribution of choice for desktop users. 1 Linux发行版的选择台式机用户。 The survey comprised of a self-selected sample size of 38, 500 users.调查组成的自我选定的样本大小为38 ， 500名用户。

This year’s survey produced 38,500 votes versus 14,535 votes over the same number of days in a similar survey one year ago.今年的调查产生的38500票， 14535票，银两以上的相同天数，在类似的调查，一年前。 The number of votes was used to estimate the increase in Linux usage which isn’t exactly scientific but it gives a fair estimation.有多少票是用来估计的增加，在Linux的使用，这是不完全科学，但它给一个公平的估计。

What is the preferred Desktop Linux distribution?什么是首选的Linux桌面系统的分布？

The leading Linux distribution is the Ubuntu family - 30 percent of survey respondents are using Ubuntu or one of its sister distributions: Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and Edubuntu.领先的Linux发行版是Ubuntu的家庭-3 0％的受访者正在使用U buntu的或其一个妹妹分布： k ubuntu， x ubuntu，和e dubuntu。

While there are other distributions that owe a great deal to Ubuntu like Linspire, Freespire, MEPIS, Linux Mint, and Pioneer; they were not included in the count for Ubuntu this year, since some, like Freespire, have just made the switch, while others, such as MEPIS, are switching back to Debian, and Pioneer is going in its own direction.虽然有其他的分布认为，欠了大量的Ubuntu的一样， linspire ， freespire ， mepis ， Linux的薄荷，和先锋，他们不包括在计数为Ubuntu的这一年，因为有些，像freespire ，刚才提出的开关，而其他国家，如mepis ，切换回Debian系统，和先锋是在其自己的方向。

My experience with Xubuntu我的经验与xubuntu

Xubuntu was a strong contender when I xubuntu是一个强有力的竞争者，当我 evaluated linux distros评估Linux版本 for our desktop environment.为我们的桌面环境。 It is a very polished distribution.这是一个非常抛光分布。 It selected Fedora Core 6 primarily because it didn’t at that time support RAID-1 on boot partitions.它选定的Fedora Core 6 ，主要是因为它没有在那个时间，支持RAID - 1对启动分区。

Note: Most desktop users wouldn’t even care, if they even know what it is, for RAID-1, let alone care for RAID-1 for boot partitions.注意：大多数台式机用户都不会，甚至照顾，如果他们甚至知道它是什么，对RAID - 1 ，更遑论照顾的RAID -一为启动分区。 However I had been severely affected in the past with hardware crashes and I was not going to leave any stone unturned.不过，我已造成严重影响，在过去与硬件崩溃和我是不打算离开任何想尽办法。

I am not surprised with Xubuntu’s prominence in the survey because:我并不感到惊讶与xubuntu的突出在调查中，因为：
1. 1 。 It is a very polished distro and very easy to use这是一个非常抛光distro和非常容易使用
2. 2 。 The CD’s are shipped free to anyone around the world裁谈会的运免费向任何人在世界各地

Overall as I stated in the past整体正如我在过去 Linux has very much matured as a desktop OS Linux已经十分成熟，作为一个桌面操作系统 and today’s competes head to head with Microsoft Windows and in my humble opinion comes ahead.和今天的竞争是为了与Microsoft Windows和在管见谈到未来。 Linux is here to stay and win; get used to it. Linux是在这里逗留，赢得;习惯。
