I have heard a lot about Linux being an exceptionally stable
operating system. I am interested in possibly changing from WIN
95 to Linux. As I look around at all the info I have found that
there are a number of different types (or distributions) of Linux
available, (ie: Mandrake Linux, Caldera, OpenLinux 1.3, Debian
GNU/Linux 2.0, Red Hat Linux 5.2, Slackware Linux 3.6, S.u.S.E.
Linux 5.3, ect.)
Can anyone please explain what the difference between these
distributions might be? I haven't been able to identify any
differences because each package may, or may not, come with
additional software included. Thanks.
