Distributions of Linux

The Linux operating system is available as many different distributions, each of which contains the Linux kernel, a variety of installation and application programs, and other customized features. Some distributions are very similar to each other with only minor differences, while other distributions have some significant differences. Also, some distributions are designed for specific types of computers.

Some major distributions include Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, SuSE, Mandriva, Gentoo, and Slackware.

Each distribution has its own individual strengths and weaknesses. Some of the more prominent distributions are compared in the document "English-language GNU/Linux distributions on CD-ROM".
