Linux General Information
There are numerous choices of distributions and desktop environments.
The oldest binary distributions still under development (binary: meaning you don't need to compile from source to have a functional system):
- Debian
- Slackware
- Red Hat
More recent, since 2006:
- Archlinux
Most other distributions are derivatives of those described above.
Distrowatch to explore the many distributions available (in English).
Distrosea to test Linux distributions online. (Distributions are launched in Qemu)
