Definition: Distributions are software packages provided by a particular developer, typically packaged in an archive format. Linux distributions are particularly popular for operating systems due to their extensive support, customization options, and community-driven nature. They include:
1.
Ubuntu
: A widely used distribution based on Debian's core Linux kernel.
2.
Fedora
: An alternative name for Ubuntu, offering a more minimalistic approach to the open-source software.
3.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
: Similar to Fedora, but with enhanced security features and compatibility with certain operating systems.
Distributions are designed to be flexible, making them suitable for both beginners and experienced users who prefer simpler setups.
