What will be an ideal response?


A distribution typically includes word processors, spreadsheets, media play-
ers, database applications, and a program to install the distribution. In

addition, a distribution includes libraries and utilities from the GNU Project
and graphics support from the X Window System.
All distributions are based on the same upstream code, although each might

include different applications and tools. Distributions distinguish them-
selves in the areas of package management and installation tools, policies,

community, and support.

Distributions include Fedora/Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Ubuntu, Mand-
riva, openSUSE, Debian, Gentoo, and Mageia.
