Distribution related considerations
One of the most common historical criticisms of Linux, particularly in relation with the desktop deployment, has been the perception of fragmentation across multiple distributions (Red Hat, SUSE, Ubuntu, etc). the adopter participating in this study, however, generally do not see problem with this, less than 17 % alluding to the issues in this area. Nevertheless, there are still multiple distributions in frequent use, and to keep mainteannce and support overhead to the minimum and avoiding incremental compatibility issues, it is necessary to have choose between them.
When an open question would be imposed to the main consideration to bear in mind when evaluating distribution, criteria such as ease of support and stability are mentioned, but majority of the feedback received a concerned with usability in one form or another.
