:confused: "A Linux "distribution" is version of the Linux operating system made especially by a company, organization or individual. The one thing they all have in common is that they use the Linux kernel. From there on, each developer will add its own programs, tools and other applications. Some are <a href="http://www.bodhost.com/ " target="_blank" title=" dedicated " style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;">dedicated </a> to specific uses while others are intended for the general public.
