19. Linux 2.2.1
http://www.linuxhq.com/

When a new version of a free operating system that Microsoft portrays as a
significant competitor is released, it is big news. The release of Linux
2.2.1 with multiple useful enhancements is definitely big news. While some
of these enhancements are esoteric, many will be widely appreciated. Among
the new features of Linux 2.2.1 are support for many new processors and
system types, the ability to read Microsoft's NTFS and FAT32 file systems,
a new, kernel-based method for accessing video, innumerable new hardware
drivers, and many more fun and interesting features. The release should be
used with the caveat that it not be installed in a production system until
this version matures slightly; it can be difficult to restrain from
installing exciting new technology immediately. Linux 2.2.1 runs on many
hardware platforms and can be challenging to install. [CL]
