Description
A GNU/Linux distribution is a collection of software that runs on the Linux kernel. The word "Linux" literally refers to the Linux kernel, which is the part of the operating system that interacts with the hardware and manages running programs. A distribution includes the Linux kernel, but also includes hundreds of programs (for example Netscape, X Windows, and the gcc compiler). A kernel without any programs to run on it is useless.
They don't all include the same software. However, for the most part a core set of programs are included with all distributions.
Some distributions are more agressive about including the latest versions of software and the kernel, while others may tend towards more leisurely adoption.
