LinuxAre‘s List of Popular Linux Distro :

OpenSUSE

Mono Framework and Yast software. Mono is implemented of .Net on Linux. Maybe this is not an extraordinary thing, but for the developers. NET allows the passage of the Mono-based programs. NET. The impact is to facilitate inter-operatibilitas between Windows and Linux and other platforms that support. Net.

YaST is an integrated administrative system that only exists in SuSE and openSUSE. until recently, to say the administration tool YaST is very useful for the administrators. With a few clicks of a mouse, a fairly complicated task, such as preparing or Xen virtual machines fail over cluster setup based DRDB can be done easily! Moreover, hardware support is pretty good too.Especially in the early rise of Linux distributions, SuSE is a step in front of supporting hardware-hardware on the market, while other distros need more time.

Debian

Stable, the number of packets that are very much (about 29 thousand), and high community support is the hallmark of the Debian distro. In addition, these distributions now have the most derivative. Even in the top ten ranking was inhabited derivative distros, like Ubuntu, Mint, PCLinuxOS. Puppy for several series also arguably indirectly Debian derivative, mislany edition of Lucid Puppy. Also, Debian has been tested in terms of quality. Distributions that rivals might just Slackware. difference, the more impressed Slackware distro “one man show”. While Debian further highlight the aspects of “togetherness”.

Debian is also the only Linux distribution that supports the most diverse architecture outside of Intel processors. Noted there is ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, s390, HP-PA (Hewlwtt Packard Precision Architecture), and several others. Debian is certainly easier for users to wear one the same OS platform in a variety of hardware environments. do not forget to also kfreebsd which the Debian project combined with the FreeBSD kernel. So you feel like getting two things at once, “flavors” of Linux applications, but the performance of FreeBSD. Very interesting is not it?

Arch

In these distributions, rolling release and installation system is controlled entirely by the user (only meng0install as needed) so is suitable for making the system a “slim”. Arch rolling release enables always updated with the latest software without having to wait for the next distro release versions.

Arch Linux distro Gentoo can be regarded as a new generation, but minus the compiled software features. Arch package ready to install applications, while Gentoo package source of the application so it must be compiled first. With more advanced computer systems, the compilation is no longer regarded software provides significant advantages and on the other hand are considered less practical. Arch developers aware of this, however, remained Arch provides the option to install it via source applications. Source applications can be downloaded from the ABS (Arch Build System) with the help of software, such as the packer. Installation option via the source is mainly a solution if want to install software that has not signed the official repository of Arch Linux.
