Linux Distro
For new or not familiar with Linux, often wonder why there should be a Linux distro that bejibun. Sometimes also appear confused the difference between the 'Linux' to 'Linux distro'. Well in this paper, we want to tangent a little understanding between the two.
Operating System
When talking about Linux, it means that we are actually talking about the operating system. As Windows or Apple MacOS X, Linux is the operating system. Where, the operating system can be thought of as a collection of software that runs on 'behind the scenes' alias invisible to users. This operating system that controls the computer, set up communication with devices such as printers, set up a schedule-start-stop program of existing applications, etc.. And from here it looks, although the process is in the 'behind the scenes', but his role is so vital. So that we can call it a system software (system software).
Kernel and Application Program
Core part, most important, and is the foundation of the operating system is the kernel. Because everything is built on the basic services provided by this kernel. The next, from the kernel and other system software, will wake up the operating system.
It's just a computer user does not care about kernel. Computer novice user only cares whether or not there is an application program is useful for him. For example, application programs for word processing, editing pictures, play music, print documents, etc.. In a sense, whether or not there is a kernel, which is important to use a computer properly and easily.
Well, after reading the little description above, we now return to the point ...
Linux and Linux distributions
Technically, Linux is the kernel of the Linux operating system itself. Linux distributions are being Linux operating system + + application program set a bunch of devices to install and configure the system. So, from a variety of Linux distributions usually will have the same kernel. What is different is the application program and device to configure it.
