Which Linux Distro And Why?
,----[ Quote ]
| When you tell someone, "I'm going to buy a car," you usually hear, "Which
| one?" Ford, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Honda, Saturn? Two-door, four-door, minivan?
| And so on.
|
| Likewise, if you say "I want to run Linux," you'll get the same question:
| Which one? There's no one "Linux" in the same sense that there's no
| one "car." There are things common among all cars as there are among all
| Linux distributions: All cars have an engine, and all Linux distributions
| share the Linux kernel and many of the GNU utilities.

More specialty Linuxes to the rescue
,----[ Quote ]
| The specialized Linuxes in this roundup showcase the advantages of
| customizing both OS components and user-level software. I look at a pair of
| firewall Linuxes, IPCop and m0n0wall; a Linux SAN/NAS appliance, OpenFiler;
| two Linuxes for musicians, Ubuntu Studio and Musix; and a final duo of
| distributions, Ubuntu Christian Edition and Ubuntu Muslim Edition, targeted
| at members of those corresponding religions.

Why Having 500+ Distros is a Good Thing

| Perhaps next time the author might think about what they're
| saying...because limiting the number of distros out there is
| absolutely NOT the way to go to accomplish anything other
| than limiting innovation.
