Hello! I get really stumped about all distros out there. What is what and why? A/nders.
There are two major Linux variations - Redhat and Debian. Distributions such as Fedora and Suse belong to the Redhat family and distributions such as Ubuntu and Gentoo belong ti the Debian family. I've chosen to use Debian proper, as opposed to, for example, Ubuntu, because I prefer to use console-based programs wherever possible and I think that Debian offers me more options in that respect. However, that's me. The beauty of Linux is that you have a lot of choices. I suggest that you visit
