The Distro Jungle |
This is an article that defines a Linux Distribution as: "a bundling of the Linux kernel with other software and services."
It further states that "... the kernel is the same, so what you are selecting is the style of installation,
the tools you want, and the level of support that you need to have."
A very good article for anyone new to Linux. |
