Either way, the result is a customized Linux distribution.
Today there are hundreds of different distributions available. Some of the more
popular Linux distributions include
?– SUSE Linux ?– TurboLinux
?– Fedora Linux ?– Mandrake Linux
?– Red Hat Enterprise Linux ?– Lycoris Linux
?– Debian Linux ?– Linspire
?– ALT Linux ?– CentOS
?– Gentoo Linux ?– Ubuntu
?– Slackware Linux
A great table providing an overview and comparison of most Linux
distributions is available at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Linux_
distributions.
So which distribution is best? That is a dangerous question. Normally pacifist
network administrators and programmers can come to blows once they start debating
which distribution is the best. That??™s because the distribution that works the best
for you may not meet the needs of someone else. The key here is to try out several
distributions and pick the one you like.
Personally, I have grown to love SUSE Linux from Novell. You can download
a copy of this distribution from http://www.opensuse.org. It has become my Linux
distribution of choice. Likewise, I really like Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora
from Red Hat.
