| ==Overview==
| |
| [[Linux]] is available in many different flavors, each with different merits and weaknesses. There is no "official" version of Linux. The various flavors (or "[[distribution (software)|distribution]]s") each "[[fork (software)|fork]]" off from the original Unix sources at various different points; the details of this could form an article all by themselves.
