Linux distributions what is Linux distribution

–linux's essence, it is only the core of the operating system (kernel), is responsible for controlling the hardware, managing the file system, program import, etc., and does not provide users with a variety of tools and application software.

– People focus on the Linux core, and then integrate with a variety of system management software to form a complete set of operating systems, a combination of which is called a Linux distribution .

Linux Major distributions

• RedHat Linux: Red Hat Enterprise Linux is the system administrator's first choice, it has a large number of packages, and very in-place support, because the release is a commercial product, so it is not free.

• Centos: An enterprise Linux distribution that is rebuilt with free source code from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This refactoring completely removes a very minor change in the registered trademark and binary package. Some people do not want to pay a large sum of money, but also a taste of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it is a very good choice.

• Fedora: You can roughly understand that you inherited the Redhat desktop version of the branch. Maintained by a community, the update speed is relatively fast.

• Ubuntu: A desktop-based Linux operating system that provides general users with an up-to-date, yet fairly stable, system of mostly free software.
