The Origin of Linux Distribution
Feb 6th
“Linux Distribution” or call briefly that is “Linux Distro” which born from the requirement Distribute Linux Operating System go to the favor extensively. The “Distribution” word is the extensively meaning there is appear in every the society, there is person group want to announce the idea of oneself goes out to others.
For linux distro that is person group they want to announce linux operating system to others turn to take an interest and lead the linux operating system to be usable more and more extensively there. The power adds that make up the linux distro that have as follows.
First, because of in the age at linux start the internet system still have a few speed extremely then not convenient to download linux kernel and all linux components come to set up because more will fully completed download it get time long ago. So, CD-ROM saller group for sets up a linux program then important duty first of linux distribution.
The second points, is in the age at this first also at all program at the components of linux operating system still during of development goes to according to one’s ability of program developer from the worldwide, thus leading linux to usable have rather a little moderately, So mostly software that distribute then is in “source code” which the lead will go to usable must use the technical step that calls “Program Compilation” then make not convenient or almost impossible to build the favor happen in group of newcomer users quickly follows the aim of linux distribution. So the linux distro group must prepare operating system software of oneself are in fully use actually then get achieve.
The third points, that is the hard step for linux operating system installation must touch redesign for easyly most don’t differ from order calling setup command in windows installation, including setting all the usability and refining the system for just boot with Linux CD-ROM and click next go to continually already you will have linux operating system that want, simple that is linux distro must making usability linux get into simple for general person. So, linux distribution then group of person are the organization there is the objective to announce the operating system that uses linux for kernel to general person to extensively usability by operate beneath the regulation of the OpenSource community and FREE Software which in now have linux distribution increase greatly.
This is the basic about the origin of linux operating system and linux distro distributing to other linux users. Linux learning is easiest in now vendor of each linux distro they has created it for easy to use and easy fast install, So you can learn on same the windows os.

What is the smallest Linux distribution compatible with the PS3?
Feb 2nd
I would like to install Linux on my PS3 but I have a satellite internet connection. This means that I can only download small files(or iso’s). Like under 500mb. Are there any free iso linux files I can get for ps3 under 500mb?
What is the best linux distribution for learning to use many?
Feb 1st
First, a bit about my background.. I currently work as a Network Engineer, mainly with Cisco routers/switches and VPN devices. I am throughly familiar with Windows, both as a workstation and server, and have one more test to go to complete my MCSE. However, I have no real experience with Linux, and feel like this is both a hole in my personal knowledge and in my resume. 
I can do basic user stuff both from a command line and in Xwindows, but have no real command of it.
That said, I intend to rectify this. I want to start using Linux as my primary operating system on my personal PC, as I feel this is a great first step to really force myself to learn it. I need to know what distribution would be best for me to use. My concern is some of them seem to have alot of propriatary tools that are not found in other linux distros, I want to find one to learn on that will best allow me to be comfortable on any linux distro I run into in the future. Thanks much for your advice!
