For those who like to roll there own. linuxiso.org What is Linux? Technically speaking, Linux is the kernel of a computer operating system. A kernel is software that enables communications between computer applications and hardware, providing system services like file management, virtual memory, device I/O, and more. When combined with other software programs and applications it becomes what is known as Linux, a complete Operating System, also sometimes called GNU/Linux, to give deserved credit to all of the software. This collection of software makes up what is called a distribution. Each distribution is a collection of programs put together by a particular person or persons, be it a for-profit company like Redhat, or a group of like-minded individuals who just want to do it their way. Distributions vary in areas such as ease of installation, included software, and kernel versions. You should spend some time learning the particulars of available distributions, and making sure your system hardware is supported. tom watson tosiwmee
