2.1.7 Distributions
In total there are hundreds of Linux distributions. Many of these are specialized for features such as embedded systems, foreign languages, internet servers and security. The list below is for user-friendly installation and usage. The most successful of these distributions is Redhat. Some distributions, such as Mandrake, are based on the Redhat distribution, but with enhancements.
Redhat - the original consumer friendly Linux [7]
Mandrake - a Redhat derivative [8]
Caldera - another well established distribution [9]
Debian - a release that focuses on stability [10]
SuSe - yet another distribution [11]
