Differences between Linux distributions
Please bear with me but there is something that has been bothering me and come to you guys for help.
I was reading a few questions here the other day and saw someone talking about Mandrake being debian, and something else is BSD, etc.. Sorry I dont remember the article.. and Im sure what I just said was totally false but Im sure you get the picture. So my question is... What are these (debian, BSD, etc)... distros? if they are distros, what is RH, SUSE, Mandy, etc.... What are the differences? you dont have to write a novel, just something easy to help me understand. Thank you TheGNUbie |

Mandrake started out as a fork of RedHat. They even advertised that it was 99.999% compatible with RedHat packages. As time went by, it developed into its own full distro. |
