I have been evaluating both Xubuntu and Fedora Core along with Cent OS (Open Source version / fork of Red Hat Linux Enterprise Edition).我一直在评估双方xubuntu和Fedora的核心，随着美分操作系统（开放源代码版本/叉在Red Hat Linux企业版） 。 The key value and differences between these releases are:关键的价值和差异，这些版本是：


Xubuntu xubuntu

Xubuntu is definitely faster to use in general due to its light-weight xubuntu肯定是更快地使用在一般由于其重量轻， Xfce desktop interface xfce的桌面界面 . 。 The speed is very welcome on slightly low end machines and with limited resources.速度是非常欢迎就稍微低端机器和资源有限的。

Xubuntu features a powerful package updater which can be easily used by anyone to keep their applications up to date. xubuntu功能强大的套件更新可以很容易地用任何人以保持他们的申请直至目前为止。 This is a big bonus for point and click types.这是一个很大的奖金点，然后按一下类型。 You can set it to automatically update too.你可以将它设置为自动更新。 I used it to add some required applications like httpd, mysql server etc.我用它添加一些所需的应用程式，例如的httpd ， MySQL服务器等。

The applications for Xubuntu are well chosen with KOffice applications instead of OpenOffice which tend to be slower.申请xubuntu都是精心挑选的与koffice申请，而不是OpenOffice的往往会比较慢。 While their office producvity suite is not complete like others featuring OpenOffice, they are faster.而他们的办公室producvity Suite是不完整的其他人一样，采用了OpenOffice ，他们速度更快。 Moreover you can always install OpenOffice easily and freely using their package manager.此外您可以随时安装的OpenOffice容易和自由使用他们的软件包管理。

With the limited time I spent with Xubuntu I couldn’t figure how to add new menu items to their start menu.与时间有限，我花了与xubuntu我不能数字如何添加新的菜单项，以他们的开始菜单。 Also it doesn’t automatically add items on software installation like Windows, but that I am sure is a malaise with all Linux variants including Fedora Core and Cent OS.此外，它不会自动添加项目，对软件安装的Windows一样，但我肯定是一个弊病与所有的Linux变种，包括浅顶软呢帽核心和中心操作系统。

Xubuntu did a nice job of properly recognizing all of my hardware. xubuntu做了很好的工作，正确认识我所有的硬件。

While Xubuntu allows software RAID 1, it doesn’t allow RAID 1 of the boot partition.而xubuntu允许软件RAID 1 ，它不容许的RAID 1的启动分区。 So if the disk containing your boot partition is corrupted then you are forced to boot from a floppy or CD.因此，如果磁盘含有启动分区损坏，那么你是被迫开机从软盘或CD 。 In other words you loose the benefit of automatic recovery from disk failure.在其他的话，你松散的利益而自动恢复，从磁盘故障。

Fedora Core 6 & Cent OS浅顶软呢帽核心6 ＆美分操作系统

The single bext thing I love about Fedora Core & Cent OS (and obviously RHEL) is that it supports RAID 1 on boot partitions too.单bext事，我喜欢的Fedora Core ＆美分操作系统（和明显的RHEL ）是，它支持RAID 1对启动分区太多。 It doesn’t support LVM on boot partition though.它不支持的LVM就启动分区虽然。 However I can live with that.不过，我可以生活。 I create a RAID-1 on two disks with 100 MB active partitions each (first partition physicallY) and mount it as /boot.创建的RAID - 1 2磁盘与100 MB的积极分区，每个（第一分区的身体）及摩它当作/开机。 Then I create a swap, again on RAID-1.然后我创建一个掉期，再次对的RAID - 1 。 The remaining is configured into a RAID-1 with LVM on top creating a humongous volume which can be increased simply by adding more disks.其余的配置成为一个行动- 1的LVM再加上创造一个humongous量可以增加，只要增加更多的磁盘。

FC4 nicely recognized my hardware except my new network card. fc4好，我承认我的硬件，除了新的网路卡。 It features OpenOffice as default which is slightly less performant, but more featured, than KOffice suite.它的特点的OpenOffice作为预设这是略少performant ，但更多精选，比koffice套房。

Manual partitioning with DiskDruid is a pleasure to use period.手册分割与diskdruid是一个很高兴能够使用期限。

Fedora Core is quite stable and usable as an Linux variant.浅顶软呢帽核心是相当稳定，实用作为一个Linux的变种。 You can use yum to easily update your software from commandline.您可以使用荫轻松地更新您的软件从命令。 They too have a GUI tool which I haven’t used yet.他们也有贵的工具，我也没有用，但。

Fedora Core / Cent OS is much more configurable than Xubuntu while installation.浅顶软呢帽核心/美分， OS是更为配置比xubuntu ，而安装。 While Xubuntu has taken a different track and simplified installation procedures.而xubuntu已采取了不同的轨道和简化安装程序。

Overall both of them are very good choice for a desktop operating system and good alternatives to Windows OS.整体他们两人是很好的选择桌面操作系统和良好的替代Windows操作系统。 My personal preference at this time is Xubuntu Fedora Core 6.我个人的偏好在这个时候是xubuntu的Fedora Core 6 。 We have adopted Fedora Core 6 across the company; in servers and desktops.我们已采取的Fedora Core 6整个公司，在伺服器与桌上型电脑。 We are 100% Linux, baby我们是百分之一百的Linux ，婴儿 ： ）
