=== What is Debian? ===
Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.

Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with more than 8710 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

=== What is Knoppix? ===
For the first boot and maybe even the first install, especially if you want to use [[:Category:Debian | Debian]], Knoppix may be the solution of choice. Knoppix is a Linux installation that can run entirely from your CD-ROM without changing anything on your harddrive. Another option is [[:Category:Kanotix | Kanotix]], a Knoppix-descendant, which has some festures and extensions built in which are especially useful for notebook users.

=== What is Slackware? ===
Slackware is one of the oldest distributions; its original release was in April, 1993. Its creator, Patrick Volkerding, has maintained the project since its inception. Pat is known affectionately as "The Man" to Slackware fans. Patrick has strived to maintain Slackware as a simple, efficient, and high-performance distribution throughout its history. Slackware is often described as the most "Unix-like" of Linux distributions, because of Patrick's desire to keep its configuration and customization methods as clean and straightforward as possible. Slackware uses unpatched, but well-configured "vanilla" kernels directly from kernel.org, and tries to use software packages that are unmodified from their authors' original source. As a result, Slackware tends to be very stable, and easy to compile additional software against. It does not suffer from the myriad bugs that plague other distributions that attempt to make distro-specific modifications to common open-source packages.

Slackware tries to be stable, fast and efficient. It runs even on older systems
with less RAM and less CPU Power.

The distribution is not intended for users who like "clickibunti" (german for point and click interfaces).
Instead most of the configuration is done by modifying the right files with your favorite text editor.
It is intended for power users and those who just want to have a stable and actual system without
bloating sounds and fat animations which have only one reason: Slowing down your PC.

Slackware has an undeserved reputation of being difficult to learn and maintain. New users to Slackware whose first exposure to Linux come from more GUI-oriented distros like Redhat or Mandriva may initially find it to be overwhelming. However, Slackware's strengths become clear with a little persistance in learning its ways. Many distros with built-in configuration utilities are actually just modifying parameters in various text files in the /etc directory. A disadvantage to that convenience is that user-added modifications can be mysteriously overwritten by these utilities. Learning system configuration through the use of GUI utilities can also lead to users who don't really understand what's going on under the hood. A Slackware user is often much more prepared to solve problems when the easy way doesn't work.

One of Slackware's definite strengths is the stability of its underlying structure. The locations of configuration files, the layout of directories, and even its installation program have remained relatively unchanged since its beginnings in the early 1990's. New users may be concerned that a lot of Slackware documentation hasn't been updated in years (although the regulars of the alt.os.linux.slackware newsgroup have recently updated the main Slackware "book"). The reality is that since most of Slackware's core concepts change very slowly, documentation that is five years old is often still relevant. An additional benefit is that the investment in time to learn how to handle Slackware will not soon become obsolete.

One criticism of Slackware is its "lack of a package management system", such as RPM or apt-get. This criticism is a misconception, and would more accurately be stated that Slackware does not perform dependency-checking on new packages. However, Slackware does have its own package manager, pkgtool. It relies on the user to understand what he or she is adding to the system, and to satisfy dependencies manually. While this sounds like a nightmare, in practice it can prevent unintended and automated changes to the OS. A Slackware admin has much tighter control over additions and updates to the system than someone who simply types "apt-get dist-upgrade" and hopes for the best.

Slackware is a unique distribution with its own ways of accomplishing the common tasks that every Linux user and admin must do. While it can seem unforgiving to newcomers, it satisfies many Linux users who wish to have fine-grained and complete control of their systems.

=== FreeBSD ===
FreeBSD is a free, open source, Unix-like operating system descended from AT&T UNIX via the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) branch through 386BSD and 4.4BSD. It runs on processors compatible with the Intel x86 family, as well as on the DEC Alpha, the UltraSPARC processors by Sun Microsystems, the Itanium (IA-64) and AMD64 processors. Support for the ARM architecture, MIPS and PowerPC architectures are currently in development.

==History and development==
Initial development of FreeBSD was started in 1993, and took its sources from 386BSD. However, due to concerns about the legality of all the sources used in 386BSD, FreeBSD re-engineered much of the system with the FreeBSD 2.0 release in January of 1995 using the 4.4BSD-Lite release from the University of California, Berkeley. The FreeBSD Handbook includes more historical information about the genesis of FreeBSD.

</div>

==Linux Compatibility==
FreeBSD provides binary compatibility with several other UNIX-like operating systems, including Linux. The reasoning behind this is generally attributed to being able to run applications developed for Linux, often commercial, that are only distributed in binary form and thus cannot be ported to FreeBSD without the will of those who control the source code.

In a nutshell, it allows FreeBSD users to run a majority of the applications that are only distributed as Linux binaries. When compared to the vast number of native applications available for FreeBSD using the Ports Collection, these applications are in the minority. Applications used under the Linux compatibility layer include StarOffice, the Linux version of Netscape, Adobe Acrobat, RealPlayer, VMware, Oracle, WordPerfect, Skype, Doom 3, the Unreal Tournament series, and so on. It is also reported that in some situations, Linux binaries perform better on FreeBSD than they do under Linux.

Though there are many applications that run flawlessly under the compatibility layer, it should be noted that the layer is not complete, thus rendering some Linux binaries unusable on FreeBSD or limiting their functionality. One example of this is Cedega, TransGaming's product to run Microsoft Windows games on Linux. Its usage is largely crippled at this time due to an incomplete compatibility layer. There has, however, been limited success in using it to run games on FreeBSD.

==License==
As with its sister operating systems, OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the code in FreeBSD is released under the terms of a variety of licenses. Most newly created code is released under the terms of the three-clause BSD License, which allows everyone to use and redistribute FreeBSD as they wish, as long as they do not remove the copyright notice and the BSD license itself. This does not prohibit re-distribution under another license. There are also parts under the GPL, LGPL, ISC and the four-clause BSD license.

Slackware is a unique distribution with its own ways of accomplishing the common tasks that every Linux user and admin must do. While it can seem unforgiving to newcomers, it satisfies many Linux users who wish to have fine-grained and complete control of their systems.

=== FreeBSD ===
FreeBSD is a free, open source, Unix-like operating system descended from AT&T UNIX via the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) branch through 386BSD and 4.4BSD. It runs on processors compatible with the Intel x86 family, as well as on the DEC Alpha, the UltraSPARC processors by Sun Microsystems, the Itanium (IA-64) and AMD64 processors. Support for the ARM architecture, MIPS and PowerPC architectures are currently in development.

==History and development==
Initial development of FreeBSD was started in 1993, and took its sources from 386BSD. However, due to concerns about the legality of all the sources used in 386BSD, FreeBSD re-engineered much of the system with the FreeBSD 2.0 release in January of 1995 using the 4.4BSD-Lite release from the University of California, Berkeley. The FreeBSD Handbook includes more historical information about the genesis of FreeBSD.

==Linux Compatibility==
FreeBSD provides binary compatibility with several other UNIX-like operating systems, including Linux. The reasoning behind this is generally attributed to being able to run applications developed for Linux, often commercial, that are only distributed in binary form and thus cannot be ported to FreeBSD without the will of those who control the source code.

In a nutshell, it allows FreeBSD users to run a majority of the applications that are only distributed as Linux binaries. When compared to the vast number of native applications available for FreeBSD using the Ports Collection, these applications are in the minority. Applications used under the Linux compatibility layer include StarOffice, the Linux version of Netscape, Adobe Acrobat, RealPlayer, VMware, Oracle, WordPerfect, Skype, Doom 3, the Unreal Tournament series, and so on. It is also reported that in some situations, Linux binaries perform better on FreeBSD than they do under Linux.

Though there are many applications that run flawlessly under the compatibility layer, it should be noted that the layer is not complete, thus rendering some Linux binaries unusable on FreeBSD or limiting their functionality. One example of this is Cedega, TransGaming's product to run Microsoft Windows games on Linux. Its usage is largely crippled at this time due to an incomplete compatibility layer. There has, however, been limited success in using it to run games on FreeBSD.

==License==
As with its sister operating systems, OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the code in FreeBSD is released under the terms of a variety of licenses. Most newly created code is released under the terms of the three-clause BSD License, which allows everyone to use and redistribute FreeBSD as they wish, as long as they do not remove the copyright notice and the BSD license itself. This does not prohibit re-distribution under another license. There are also parts under the GPL, LGPL, ISC and the four-clause BSD license.

=== What is Windows ===

Microsoft Windows is a range of operating systems for both home PCs and servers. The first public release of Windows was introduced by Microsoft in 1985 as an add-on to MS-DOS. Microsoft Windows eventually came to dominate the world personal computer market with a market share of approximately 90% for desktop PCs in both home and business environments. All recent versions of Windows are full-fledged operating systems, which do not run on top of DOS.

Windows was developed for IBM PC-compatible computers (these were based on Intel x86 architecture), and today, almost all versions of Windows are made for this hardware-platform (although Windows NT was written as a cross-platform system for Intel and MIPS processors, and later appeared on the PowerPC and DEC Alpha architectures).

Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run. Debian uses the Linux kernel (the core of an operating system), but most of the basic OS tools come from the GNU project; hence the name GNU/Linux.

Debian GNU/Linux provides more than a pure OS: it comes with more than 8710 packages, precompiled software bundled up in a nice format for easy installation on your machine.

__NOTOC__

=== What is Slackware? ===
Slackware is one of the oldest distributions; its original release was in April, 1993. Its creator, Patrick Volkerding, has maintained the project since its inception. Pat is known affectionately as "The Man" to Slackware fans. Patrick has strived to maintain Slackware as a simple, efficient, and high-performance distribution throughout its history. Slackware is often described as the most "Unix-like" of Linux distributions, because of Patrick's desire to keep its configuration and customization methods as clean and straightforward as possible. Slackware uses unpatched, but well-configured "vanilla" kernels directly from kernel.org, and tries to use software packages that are unmodified from their authors' original source. As a result, Slackware tends to be very stable, and easy to compile additional software against. It does not suffer from the myriad bugs that plague other distributions that attempt to make distro-specific modifications to common open-source packages.

Slackware tries to be stable, fast and efficient. It runs even on older systems
with less RAM and less CPU Power.

The distribution is not intended for users who like "clickibunti" (german for point and click interfaces).
Instead most of the configuration is done by modifying the right files with your favorite text editor.
It is intended for power users and those who just want to have a stable and actual system without
bloating sounds and fat animations which have only one reason: Slowing down your PC.

Slackware has an undeserved reputation of being difficult to learn and maintain. New users to Slackware whose first exposure to Linux come from more GUI-oriented distros like Redhat or Mandriva may initially find it to be overwhelming. However, Slackware's strengths become clear with a little persistance in learning its ways. Many distros with built-in configuration utilities are actually just modifying parameters in various text files in the /etc directory. A disadvantage to that convenience is that user-added modifications can be mysteriously overwritten by these utilities. Learning system configuration through the use of GUI utilities can also lead to users who don't really understand what's going on under the hood. A Slackware user is often much more prepared to solve problems when the easy way doesn't work.

One of Slackware's definite strengths is the stability of its underlying structure. The locations of configuration files, the layout of directories, and even its installation program have remained relatively unchanged since its beginnings in the early 1990's. New users may be concerned that a lot of Slackware documentation hasn't been updated in years (although the regulars of the alt.os.linux.slackware newsgroup have recently updated the main Slackware "book"). The reality is that since most of Slackware's core concepts change very slowly, documentation that is five years old is often still relevant. An additional benefit is that the investment in time to learn how to handle Slackware will not soon become obsolete.

One criticism of Slackware is its "lack of a package management system", such as RPM or apt-get. This criticism is a misconception, and would more accurately be stated that Slackware does not perform dependency-checking on new packages. However, Slackware does have its own package manager, pkgtool. It relies on the user to understand what he or she is adding to the system, and to satisfy dependencies manually. While this sounds like a nightmare, in practice it can prevent unintended and automated changes to the OS. A Slackware admin has much tighter control over additions and updates to the system than someone who simply types "apt-get dist-upgrade" and hopes for the best.

Slackware is a unique distribution with its own ways of accomplishing the common tasks that every Linux user and admin must do. While it can seem unforgiving to newcomers, it satisfies many Linux users who wish to have fine-grained and complete control of their systems.

=== FreeBSD ===
FreeBSD is a free, open source, Unix-like operating system descended from AT&T UNIX via the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) branch through 386BSD and 4.4BSD. It runs on processors compatible with the Intel x86 family, as well as on the DEC Alpha, the UltraSPARC processors by Sun Microsystems, the Itanium (IA-64) and AMD64 processors. Support for the ARM architecture, MIPS and PowerPC architectures are currently in development.
</div>
|}
__NOTOC__

==History and development==
Initial development of FreeBSD was started in 1993, and took its sources from 386BSD. However, due to concerns about the legality of all the sources used in 386BSD, FreeBSD re-engineered much of the system with the FreeBSD 2.0 release in January of 1995 using the 4.4BSD-Lite release from the University of California, Berkeley. The FreeBSD Handbook includes more historical information about the genesis of FreeBSD.

==Linux Compatibility==
FreeBSD provides binary compatibility with several other UNIX-like operating systems, including Linux. The reasoning behind this is generally attributed to being able to run applications developed for Linux, often commercial, that are only distributed in binary form and thus cannot be ported to FreeBSD without the will of those who control the source code.

In a nutshell, it allows FreeBSD users to run a majority of the applications that are only distributed as Linux binaries. When compared to the vast number of native applications available for FreeBSD using the Ports Collection, these applications are in the minority. Applications used under the Linux compatibility layer include StarOffice, the Linux version of Netscape, Adobe Acrobat, RealPlayer, VMware, Oracle, WordPerfect, Skype, Doom 3, the Unreal Tournament series, and so on. It is also reported that in some situations, Linux binaries perform better on FreeBSD than they do under Linux.

Though there are many applications that run flawlessly under the compatibility layer, it should be noted that the layer is not complete, thus rendering some Linux binaries unusable on FreeBSD or limiting their functionality. One example of this is Cedega, TransGaming's product to run Microsoft Windows games on Linux. Its usage is largely crippled at this time due to an incomplete compatibility layer. There has, however, been limited success in using it to run games on FreeBSD.

==License==
As with its sister operating systems, OpenBSD, NetBSD and DragonFlyBSD, the code in FreeBSD is released under the terms of a variety of licenses. Most newly created code is released under the terms of the three-clause BSD License, which allows everyone to use and redistribute FreeBSD as they wish, as long as they do not remove the copyright notice and the BSD license itself. This does not prohibit re-distribution under another license. There are also parts under the GPL, LGPL, ISC and the four-clause BSD license.

=== What is Gentoo? ===
Gentoo is a relatively young linux distribution with an innovative approach.
Trying to describe the big difference in one sentence, its heart is a system called Portage, which implements a way of automatically building software from source, hence giving you maximum configurability and optimization while still not requiring you to do the manual compile steps.

One could say that Gentoo is the symbioses of some of the advantages of [[:Category:LFS | LFS]] and binary packaged distributions.

(anyone wanting to edit this, feel free, i'm not a gentoo guy, see also [[Gentoo_compile_flags]])

=== What is Linux from Scratch? ===
Linux from Scratch (LFS) is not a Linux distribution in the sense of SuSE and co. LFS is simply a book, which you can read online, download in different formats or order as a printed copy of. The purpose of that book is to show you a way (there are more than only one way) to build a complete linux system from source. Thus you can not only have the newest components and the biggest possible influence on your system but, since linux is openSource, this can be considered the true way of installing linux. In any case, you will learn a lot of it.

[[WTHPD7|http://WTHP7.coolhost.biz]]
http://WTHP8.coolhost.biz
</div>

===How it is done?===
Before you can build an LFS system, you need a running linux with some standard development stuff installed. Then you assemble the packages from its original locations or the LFS server. If you have them all together you start building a nested second system, a temporary one, the so called toolchain. This system will then be the new development platform for bulding your true new LFS system. After your system is installed (and the book leaves you alone) you start configuring it to your own taste and then - with the guidance of the "Beyond LFS" (BLFS) book - to install the software you want.
