Linux Distributions
Welcome to the new linux distribution page! Eventually this will include a
complete list of all the various distributions.
They will each have an entire page where you'll find news and
information about their distribution and what it has to offer.
It is important to note that these pages are 100% maintained by the
distributions - Linux.com has no part. We feel this is the best way to
give each distribution a chance to speak for themselves. The few above are
only the first; many more to come as we get in contact with others and they
fill out their information.
If you are a part of a distribution and are interested in being the maintainer
for the Linux.com page, email
Gerard Daubar.
We also have a
comparison chart
of several distributions.
Stay tuned for updates!
