What are the common distributions of linux? Many novices are not very clear about this. In order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain it in detail. People with this need can come and learn. I hope you can gain something.

Do you know where the charm or power of Linux comes from? That is, because a hundred flowers blossom in many distributions, the Linux camp is growing, each distribution has a large number of users, and developers volunteer to invest in related projects. There are a variety of Linux distributions designed to meet every conceivable need.

Debian

Debian runs extremely stably, which makes it ideal for use with servers. Debian maintains three formal software libraries and one non-free software library, which inspired several other distributions (such as Ubuntu and Kali).

The operating system Debian has spawned several Linux distributions. It has more than 37500 software packages, and the only other distribution that beats Debian in this respect is Gentoo. Debian uses apt or aptitude to install and update software.

Gentoo

Like Debian, the Gentoo operating system contains a large number of software packages. Gentoo does not appear in the form of precompilation, but needs to be compiled for each system at a time. Even the Gentoo community finds Gentoo difficult to install and use; however, it is considered the best learning object to learn more about the inner workings of the Linux operating system.

When it comes to Gentoo, someone always says, "if you want to learn to use a Linux distribution, learn to use it; if you learn Gentoo, you learn Linux." Gentoo uses portage to install and update software.

Ubuntu

Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian and the most popular free operating system today. Ubuntu focuses on its application in this market, which is common on servers, cloud computing, and even some mobile devices running Ubuntu Linux. As a derivative of Debian Gnu Linux, the process, look and feel of Ubuntu is still mostly the same as Debian.

It uses apt software management tools to install and update software. It is also one of the easiest distributions on the market today. Ubuntu uses an apt-based package manager.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux

This is the first Linux distribution for the commercial market. It has a server version and supports a wide range of processor architectures, including x86 and x86x64. Red Hat Company trains and certifies system administrators through the course Red Hat Certified system Administrator / Red Hat Certified engineer (RHCSA/RHCE).

In terms of the global market, 80 per cent of total profits come from support and another 20 per cent from training and certification, although this is not the case in India.

CentOS

CentOS is an enterprise Linux distribution that is rebuilt using free source code from Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This refactoring completely removes a very slight change in registered trademarks and Binary packages.

Some people don't want to pay a lot of money and can appreciate the Red Hat Enterprise Linux;. For them, CentOS is worth a try. In addition, CentOS looks and behaves just like the parent version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
