Linux distros
A
Linux distribution is simply a collection of a specific kernel with
specific support programs. Most of the included software is free and
open source software. There are many distributions designed for personal
computers, but there are also Linux distributions designed for
supercomputers or for a specific purpose, e.g. penetration testing
(BackTrack Linux).
There
are many distributions available (over six hundred), but two major
distributions became the foundation for many other distributions: Red
Hat and Debian.
Some of the more popular Linux distributions beside Red Hat and Debian are Ubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva Linux, Arch Linux.
