Debian: the most influential release. The biggest feature is the software package management system. The most annoying thing is that the new version is too slow, but users can get the latest software through the software package system to meet the different needs of beginners and professionals.

Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL): the longest and most successful commercial release. FedoraCommunity, RHEL for enterprises. Fedora is characterized by innovation. The latest technologies and software are often the first to be used by fedora. the development community is thriving, but not suitable for servers. RHEL is relatively more stable.
Gentoo: its concept is close to FreeBSD, emphasizing security and optimization. However, since the founder Daniel Robbins joined Microsoft, his development has become chaotic.
Mandriva: initially based on Red Hat, which emphasizes ease-of-use desktop, is one of the most successful commercial releases.
Slackware: the command line installation tool. The configuration file must be edited in the text without a software package system. The purpose of this tool is to make the system run faster and more reliable (beyond Debian ). It is not popular, but it is impressive.
SuSE Linux Enterprise/opensuse: similar to Red Hat, Suse is a commercial version, and opensuse is a Community Development version. Due to a controversial patent deal with Microsoft, the future of the release cannot be determined yet.
Ubuntu: the most popular release version. Based on Debian, Ubuntu's success is also inseparable from Debian. Ubuntu's strong culture has also attracted many top Debian developers. At present, it is rarely heard of criticism. The debate is mainly focused on the use of non-free software and the commercialization of the release version.
