Pictures of LINUX distribution (6 photos)
, distributed by companies or individuals, Linux is mainly used as a part of Linux distribution (usually called "distro"). Generally speaking, Linux distribution includes a Linux kernel, a set of installation tools for installing the whole software on a computer, various GNU software, other free software and some proprietary software in some specific Linux distributions. Distribution has many different uses, including supporting different computer structures, localization in specific regions or languages, real-time applications and embedded systems. Up to 20 1 1, more than 300 distributions have been actively developed, and the most commonly used ones are about 12 distributions. [33]
A typical Linux distribution includes: Linux kernel, some GNU libraries and tools, command-line shell, X-window system with graphical interface and corresponding desktop environment, such as KDE or GNOME, and includes thousands of application software from office software packages, compilers, text editors to scientific tools. [33]
Mainstream Linux distributions: Ubuntu, DebianGNU/Linux, Fedora, Gentoo, MandrivaLinux, PCLinuxOS, SlackwareLinux, openSUSE, ArchLinux, Puppylinux, Mint, CentOS, Red Hat, etc. [34]
Mainland distribution: neokylin Linux (originally won the bid for Puhua Linux), Hongqi Linux, StartOS (formerly Ylmf OS)[35], Qomo Linux (formerly Everest), Surfing Linux(Xteam Linux), Blue Point Linux, Xinhua Linux, * * Create Linux, Hundred Capital Linux, Veket, Lucky8k-Veket. Open Desktop, Hiweed GNU/Linux, Magic Linux, Engineering Computing GNU/Linux, kylin, Soft Linux, Xinhua Radium Linux(RaysLX), CD linux, MC linux, Real-time Linux(Thizlinux), b2d linux, IBOX, MCLOS, FANX, Kubo Linux, neo-oxygen Linux, Hiweed, Dee Linux. Among them, CD linux can easily integrate some wireless security audit tools, with good Chinese interface and small size. In addition, New Oxygen and Hiweed are based on ubuntu (both have stopped updating), and Deepin linux is a merged version of Hiweed, which has become a rising star of China linux. [33]
Mainstream version
Ubuntu: It is a Linux operating system based on desktop applications. Its name comes from the word Ubuntu in Zulu or Hausa in South Africa (translated as "I help you, I help you or Ubuntu"), which means "humanity" and "I exist because of everyone's existence". It is a traditional African value, similar to the "benevolence" thought in China society. Ubuntu is based on Debian distribution and GNOME desktop environment. Unlike Debian, Ubuntu releases a new version every six months. Ubuntu's goal is to provide ordinary users with an up-to-date and fairly stable operating system mainly built by free software. Ubuntu has great community power, and users can easily get help from the community. [36]
Qomo: maintained by the domestic linux-ren community. Qomo also released versions of various desktop environments to meet the needs of different desktop environment enthusiasts. Only the default desktop environment is different between versions with the same version number, and everything else is exactly the same. The management mode of rolling upgrade and layered software warehouse is adopted. Don't make any lame modifications to open source software, try to keep the software consistent with the official version, which is convenient for learning, communication and configuration management.
Linux Deepin: Always insist on providing a stable and efficient operating system for everyone, emphasizing safety, ease of use and beauty. Its slogan is "Let the novice get rid of the pain and save the time of the veteran". With the participation of the community, "making Linux easier to use" has become a practical reality.
Linux Mint: released in 2006, it is a Linux distribution based on Debian and Ubuntu. Its goal is to provide a more complete ready-to-use experience, including browser plug-ins, multimedia codecs, support for DVD playback, Java and other components. It also adds a set of customized desktops and various menus, some unique configuration tools, and a web-based software package installation interface. Compatible with Ubuntu software warehouse, it has a strong foundation, a huge installable software library and a perfect service setting mechanism. [37]
Fedora Core: (renamed Fedora directly from the seventh edition) is one of many Linux distributions. It is a free Linux system developed by Red Hat Linux. At present, the latest version of Fedora is Fedora 17. Fedora is one of the fastest updated versions in linux distribution, and a formal new version is usually released every six months. [38]
OpenSUSE: The goal of the project is to make SUSE Linux the simplest Linux distribution that everyone can use, and strive to make it the most widely used open source platform. Provide an environment for open source partners to make SUSE Linux the best Linux distribution in the world, whether for new users or experienced Linux users. Greatly simplify and open the development and packaging process, making openSUSE the first choice platform for Linux hackers and application software developers. [39]
StartOS is an easy-to-use, safe, stable and extensible desktop operating system, which is more in line with the operating habits of China people.
Debian: Project is a cooperative organization dedicated to creating a free operating system. The operating system created is called Debian GNU/Linux, or Debian for short. An operating system is a collection of basic programs and tools that make a computer run, the most important part of which is called the kernel. The kernel is the most important program in the computer, which is responsible for all the basic scheduling work and allows you to run other programs. [40]
SlackwareLinux: It is a GNU/Linux distribution made by Patrick Volkerding. It is the longest-lived Linux distribution in the world. In its heyday, it used to have the largest number of users in all distributions. However, with the commercialization of Linux, Redhat, Mandrake, Suse and other products have occupied a broad market through large-scale commercial promotion. As a community distribution, Debian also has a huge user base. In contrast, Slackware's silence makes it disappear from the sight of many people, especially the new users who use Linux. [4 1-42]
Red Hat: It is the largest open source technology manufacturer in the world, and its product, Red Hat Linux, is also the most widely used Linux version in the world. Red Hat is headquartered in North Carolina, USA. It has 22 branches all over the world.
