Explanation on Linux distribution:
http://www.linux.org/info/faq1.html
| What is a Linux distribution?
| A Linux "distribution" is version of the Linux operating
| system made especially by a company, organization or
| individual.
Key quote:
| The one thing they all have in common is that they use the
| Linux kernel.
^^^^^^^^^^^^
| From there on, each developer will add its own programs,
| tools and other applications. Some are dedicated to
| specific uses while others are intended for the general
| public.
More information on distributions:
http://www.linux.org/dist/
| When Linus Torvalds first developed Linux back in August of
| 1991, the operating system basically consisted of his
| kernel and some GNU tools. With the help of others Linus
| added more and more tools and applications.
|
| With time, individuals, university students and companies
| began distributing Linux with their own choice of packages
| bound around Linus' kernel. This is where the concept of
| the "distribution" was born.
|
| Today, creating and selling Linux distributions is a
| multi-million dollar business. You can buy a boxed version
| of Linux from companies such as Red Hat, SuSE, MandrakeSoft
| and others. You can also download Linux from any number of
| companies and individuals. There are distributions of all
| types and for practically any kind of computing endeavor.
| There are versions of Linux that will give you a firewall,
| will boot the entire operating system from a floppy disk or
| CD-ROM or can be used to power TV "set-top" boxes.
