GNU/Linux?
GNU / Linux is developed by Linus torvald in 1991 and the University of Helsinki student days, he does not meet the university’s operating system minix invented by Andrew Tanembaum. He’s the guy who wrote it in the first group of publications and news kernel and the Linux kernel from the start that time is now to begin a long journey to this moment. Linux is a kernel, just a little portion of the operating system itself to control all aspects of the system’s 2006 suit, like memory management, file management, input / output, etc., one for building the operating system, kernels do need some tools Calling the application to concrete actions. Linux kernel is a major integrated program is published under the GPL: (gnu public license) and was called because of gnu / Linux.
No one outside the kernel, the Linux version, but why is it that so many people around the world? This version is called a Linux distribution developed by a person, community or corporate support, and bringing them to their new applications and bundled them into a new distribution release. This is the law, since this activity is to grant the GPL. Why not now for the distribution of the already more than 50 gnu / Linux world. They all see distrowatch suit in 2007.
Some of us think that this is common during phenomenon, but not for other people who have just started to know gnu / Linux. Sometimes, they’re confused about the variety gnu / Linux distributions. Some prefer to use Red Hat, while others like suse, mandrake, Gentoo, slackware, etc
If you have these kinds of people (or confuse) the distribution to start learning it than to choose one. Find out if the owner is outside the 2006 suit that looks different, but playing with an inner shell of the case, will find many similarities. Don’t be hesitate to try to do as much as the gnu / Linux distribution to suit you. Each have their own characteristics and distribution.
