A Dream Distro, looking from a noob’s perspective

,----[ Quote ]
| Catch any Tom, Dick and Harry and ask him “What is Linux?”. What is the 
| answer you expect? The result I get is “Linux is the opium of the geeks”. The 
| image which they have of Linux is people sitting in front of black and white 
| screen typing some obsecure characters and the computer replies back with 
| even more weird results.

Jargon Jam - Distro

,----[ Quote ]
| You could go out yourself and get the Linux kernel, combine it with the GNU 
| toolchain, a desktop environment and all the other things required to make a 
| full system; but realistically not many people have the time, skill, patience 
| or desire to do that. That’s why it’s good have distributions like Red Hat, 
| Ubuntu, OpenSUSE, Debian, Slackware and many many more. This is what people 
| usually mean when referring to different “flavours of Linux”, the different 
| distributions.
