We&#8217;re going to talk about\nwhat makes up Linux. This\nbrings up the question &#8220;What is Linux?&#8221; There are more than a dozen\nversions commercially available, in several different countries, all with their\nown unique characteristics. How can you call any one of them <i>the<\/i> Linux\ndistribution?\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe answer is you can&#8217;t. What I will do instead is to\nsynthesize all the different versions into a single pseudo-version that we can\ntalk about. Although there are differences in the different versions, the\nmajority of the components are the same. There has been a great deal of effort\nin the past few years to standardize Linux, with a great deal of success. I will\ntherefore address\nthis standard Linux and then mention those areas where\nspecific versions diverge.\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Linux Basics With many UNIX systems that are around, the user is unaware that the operating system is a UNIX system.
