| Linux-Diff.net == Linux Differences
|
- Bascially, at it's core, all Linux Distro are IDENTICAL
- All the software comes from the same open source "author" or "team"
- ALL of the software is free from the various sites on the net
- What are the differences between the linux distros:
- the installer
- the package manager
- the upgrade and patch release mechanism
- the distro tweeks and defaults they might do to certain programs
- the distro moved files around per their way
- the different versions of the same apps ( previous vs latest releases )
- the marketing/sales
- some commercial Companies might partner with or test against one distro and not others,
but it'd still work on the other Distros too
- Embedded Linux will be smaller footprint ( minimum packages to support their widgets )
- Embedded Linux might be "real time"
- There are about 90,000 open source software some packaged into your favorite CDROMs
- You can always get the latest versions (FREE) from the originating GPL authors/team
- ISSUE: does the "dependency checking" work in order to install or remove apps
