Excited to see this world of Linux. A general question came in mind regarding the origin of Linux.
Well, it (Linux) is basically a kernel -- perhaps same in majority of all the distros, almost all. Well, openSUSE also uses the technique of .rpm which is again Red Hat Package Manager. So basically i get to know that it was initially in Linux two sides -- 1) debian 2) rpm (as already discussed) but just wanted to know that openSUSE also has been derived from Redhat like many other distros have....?
And out of debian and .rpm, both seem to be the oldest but I guess debian is more old...? Was just talking of linux not unix (like freebsd).
Well, this question might seem silly to somebody but being a beginner these question(s) often come in mind, so I just get to know the better experiences of the people -- of course Linux experts. If it (this question) is irrelevant, I am sorry, just cancel the question.
