Both PCLinuxOS, and Linux Mint Debian are far more user friendly and have better hardware support. Both are at least as secure as Ubuntu. http://www.pclinuxos.com/?page_id=2 .. http://www.linuxmint.com/download_lmde.php While we're talking about great open source software, Eric Melton has created an OSS Self Checker, it works with SIP/SIP2 systems like Sirsi Symphony. Our library saved over $100k by building 4 of these using retired computers instead of going with OEM self checkers. We made a picture based manual to help other libraries build their own as well. http://tclib.org/index.php/books/pages_tutorials/libraries_create_your_own_stand_alone_self-checker/ I would like to suggest other Linux’s besides Ubuntu, sure it has lots of PR but other distributions work better.
