Linux桌面分佈在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.據desktoplinux.com奇摩剛完成的調查，有多少Linux桌面系統的用戶增加了一倍以上， 2006年和Ubuntu仍然是否定的。 1 Linux distribution of choice for desktop users. 1 Linux發行版的選擇台式機用戶。 The survey comprised of a self-selected sample size of 38, 500 users.調查組成的自我選定的樣本大小為38 ， 500名用戶。

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.今年的調查產生的38500票， 14535票，銀兩以上的相同天數，在類似的調查，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.有多少票是用來估計的增加，在Linux的使用，這是不完全科學，但它給一個公平的估計。

What is the preferred Desktop Linux distribution?什麼是首選的Linux桌面系統的分佈？

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.領先的Linux發行版是Ubuntu的家庭-3 0％的受訪者正在使用U buntu的或其一個妹妹分佈： 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.雖然有其他的分佈認為，欠了大量的Ubuntu的一樣， linspire ， freespire ， mepis ， Linux的薄荷，和先鋒，他們不包括在計數為Ubuntu的這一年，因為有些，像freespire ，剛才提出的開關，而其他國家，如mepis ，切換回Debian系統，和先鋒是在其自己的方向。

My experience with Xubuntu我的經驗與xubuntu

Xubuntu was a strong contender when I xubuntu是一個強有力的競爭者，當我 evaluated linux distros評估Linux版本 for our desktop environment.為我們的桌面環境。 It is a very polished distribution.這是一個非常拋光分佈。 It selected Fedora Core 6 primarily because it didn’t at that time support RAID-1 on boot partitions.它選定的Fedora Core 6 ，主要是因為它沒有在那個時間，支持RAID - 1對啟動分區。

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：大多數台式機用戶都不會，甚至照顧，如果他們甚至知道它是什麼，對RAID - 1 ，更遑論照顧的RAID -一為啟動分區。 However I had been severely affected in the past with hardware crashes and I was not going to leave any stone unturned.不過，我已造成嚴重影響，在過去與硬件崩潰和我是不打算離開任何想盡辦法。

I am not surprised with Xubuntu’s prominence in the survey because:我並不感到驚訝與xubuntu的突出在調查中，因為：
1. 1 。 It is a very polished distro and very easy to use這是一個非常拋光distro和非常容易使用
2. 2 。 The CD’s are shipped free to anyone around the world裁談會的運免費向任何人在世界各地

Overall as I stated in the past整體正如我在過去 Linux has very much matured as a desktop OS Linux已經十分成熟，作為一個桌面操作系統 and today’s competes head to head with Microsoft Windows and in my humble opinion comes ahead.和今天的競爭是為了與Microsoft Windows和在管見談到未來。 Linux is here to stay and win; get used to it. Linux是在這裡逗留，贏得;習慣。
