3. Introduction Linux® is an open source operating system (OS). An operating system is the software that directly manages a system’s hardware and resources, like CPU, memory, and storage . Linux was designed to be similar to UNIX, but has evolved to run on a wide variety of hardware from phones to supercomputers . The OS includes some common core components, like the GNU tools, among others. These tools give the user a way to manage the resources provided by the kernel, install additional software, configure performance and security settings, and more.

4. UBUNTU It came into existence in 2004  Ubuntu : easy graphical Linux desktop without the use of command line . Earlier, Ubuntu uses GNOME2 desktop environment but now it has developed its own unity desktop environment . It releases every six months and currently working to expand to run on tablets and smartphones.

5. Linux Mint Mint is based on Ubuntu and uses its repository software so some packages are common in both . Earlier it was an alternative of Ubuntu because media codecs and proprietary software are included in mint but was absent in Ubuntu.  it uses cinnamon and mate desktop instead of Ubuntu's unity desktop environment.

6. Debian Debian has its existence since 1993 one of the most stable Linux distributor . Ubuntu is based on Debian and was founded to improve the core bits of Debian more quickly and make it more user friendly . FUN FACT : Every release name of Debian is based on the name of the movie Toy Story . Debian's unstable trunk is named after Sid, a character who regularly destroyed his toys .

7. Red Hat Enterprise Red hat is a commercial Linux distributor.   Their products are red hat enterprise Linux (RHEL) and Fedora which are freely available . RHEL is well tested before release and supported till seven years after the release, whereas, fedora provides faster update and without any support . Red hat uses trademark law to prevent their software from being redistributed.

8. Fedora It is a project that mainly focuses on free software and provides latest version of software It is less stable but provides the latest stuff.
