| | Linux distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Most of the included software is free software/open-source software which is distributed by its maintainers both as pre-compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing users to modify and compile the original source code if they wish. | | | Before the first Linux distributions, a would-be Linux user was required to be something of a Unix expert, not only knowing what libraries and executables were needed to successfully get the system to boot and run, but also important details concerning configuration and placement of files in the system. | | | Linux distributions may also be referred to as GNU/Linux distributions, though the latter may more often refer to the Debian system. |

| | Linux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Linux is a computer operating system and its kernel. | | | Linux was originally developed for Intel 386 microprocessors and now supports all popular computer architectures (and several obscure ones). | | | Linux and other free software projects have been frequently criticized for not going far enough in terms of ensuring usability, and Linux was once considered more difficult to use than Windows or the Macintosh, although this has changed. |

| | A Linux distribution is essentially a 'snapshot' of the Linux kernel and the included packages at the point when the particular distribution decided to freeze development for a full release. | | | In its state of shared community development, Linux distributions continue to evolve alongside the packages that they are comprised of driven by the relentless pace of innovation and continuous improvement. | | | A Linux distribution as we know it today is essentially a Linux Kernel wrapped in 'distribution' of tools and applications that make for a full operating system. |
