====== Linux Distros ====== As you might know, Linux is only the main part of the system you are going to install. There are many other applications that are needed in order to actually do something useful with a computer. All those applications are bundled together into packages and put on CDs by so-called Distributions. These distributions, or "Distros", also provide a program that leads through the installation process, as well as programs that help configuring the system after the installation. Modern distributions include just about all the software you will ever need in Linux, provided that this software exists. You will find links to organizations which offer Linux-Distributions in the "Links" section here on LBo.
