Summary of Linux releases (CentOS, Debian, Redhat, Fedora Core, Gentoo, Ubuntu, etc)

CentosIf you like RH products, and you hate FC4, try centos. When you open this release, I believe you will yell: "Isn't that RedHat?", yes, this version uses the Rh srpm to generate the system completely, and the performance is also very good.

DebianThis release version is the most rigorous in all releases. The APT software package management mechanism allows you to quickly establish an efficient operating system. Stability is also famous. Many software of this release have good settings by default and can be used as daily work. The hardware support is also good. I have a lot of peripherals on my notebook, and almost no special settings are done to make those peripherals work completely normal. Of course, it may take a little time for Chinese people to learn about it, that is, just add a few words.

Fedora Core/RedHatThanks to Chinese piracy vendors, the release of this series can survive in China. The original Redhat has become famous for its worst RPM software package management mechanism, the current FC is full of bloated appearances and slow running speeds. I do not recommend this version as the first choice because it is released as an experimental version of RedHat, the behavior of using users as mice is really intolerable.
However, Rh, which is sold as a server, is still very competitive. Unfortunately, I have no silver in my hand and can't afford it.

GentooThis release version is based on the source code package. It features fast running and customization. Of course, the relative cost is a long Compilation Time, it is normal to compile a suite for one night. However, with ebuild, an effective software manager, Gentoo has become the first choice for many users who want to speed and do not want to solve their own software package dependencies.

LFSI repeatedly mentioned this release version because it is too flexible. It is your Linux release version. Although the cost is that you need to manage the software package and compile it yourself, patch your own operating system, but these are yours. You know what you have done on your system. You can learn a lot here.

MandrakeThis version is intended for new users or those who intend to work with Linux. It has a rich Software Package warehouse that allows users to conveniently install and use the software, and now the release version is running very fast. Someone once wrote articles such as "Breaking the Debian myth" on linuxsir to publicize the version, it can be seen that this version has been affirmed by many netizens, giving me a reason not to use this release, is there any?

SlackwareThe biggest feature of this release version is that there is no configuration tool and everything is done by modifying the configuration file. If you want to learn things behind Linux, use this release version.

SuSEThere is no such thing as a gorgeous appearance, easy-to-use configuration tool, and slow running speed. Of course, users with high configuration computers can try this product.

UbuntuThis is a very popular version in China recently. It is also like this in the world. It is a release version derived from Debian, and the software is updated extremely fast, gnome2.12 was put on its own software server the next day for users to download, and this release also provides excellent support for various hardware. You can use all the hardware on your machine without any special configuration. If you use a notebook, try it. However, this version is relatively young, so there are very few software servers and the speed is relatively slow. If the home is not broadband, do not use this version.
