Let's discuss Linux distributions or dystrophies and how Ubuntu fits into the Destra world, an operating

system isn't of much use if it doesn't have a suite of applications you can use on it.

A desktop environment and an office suite for end users is a great start for servers, web applications

like Apache and Ingenix or databases like my ask you all are what you need to do or display your work.

Linux is packaged into Distribution's or dystrophies, a site called Destra Watch.

Dotcom has been a go to resource for what's going on in the distro world for some time.

If you go to distro, watch Dotcom, then click on major distributions in the upper right, you'll be

taken to their top 10 distributions page.

Scrolling down, we can see there are many destroyers available.

Linux Mint.

Laboon to.

Demian.

Majia.

Fedora, a free, open source, cutting edge version of RedHat Open Suza.

Arch Lennix.

Sent us an unbranded version of RedHat.

PC, Linux OS.

It's like where Linux and FreeBSD BSD isn't Linux is, it's not based on the Linux kernel, but it is

open source and Unix like.

And if you can navigate Linux, you can do your work in BSD as well.

That's just the top 10 from Destrehan Watch.

There are literally hundreds of dystrophies out there that begs the question, why should you choose?

A boon to the straight answer is you shouldn't.

You shouldn't that is, unless it's the distro that fits your needs.

If you want a unique build for penetration testing networks or ethical hacking, use Kelly Linux.

It's a great suite of tools and utilities for scanning for and exploiting vulnerabilities on systems.

If you want to dynamically have tiny servers open up and shut down for Dacher images hosting Web services

in the cloud, have a look at Alpine Linux.

Yanping Linux is only about four to five megabytes in size.

If you want a secure distro to build a firewall or similar app on OpenBSD, maybe for you.

Technically, Bisdee is not Linux, but OpenBSD is also open source Unix like operating system, maintained

specifically with security in mind.

Wow.

With all those options, why would have been to be a fit.

Lubutu is an excellent general-purpose, desktop and server operating system, it has the features you

would typically want any large packaging system called Apte for advanced packaging tool you can use

to install and maintain a vast array of applications.

So where did the moon to come from, Mark Shuttleworth, who made a huge amount of money building,

then selling VeriSign, decided the need existed for a more user friendly distro of Linux.

He built Ubuntu on another distro called Demián Debian and was fairly mainstream, but wasn't updated

or patched as frequently or regular or regularly as the community wanted.

It also wasn't easy to install.

Mark Shuttleworth started his new distro under a company named Canonical Ltd. and named it Ubuntu.

It was released in October 2004.

Lubutu means something like humanity to others, or I am what I am because of who we all are in Zulu

and Kausar.

You'll find a boon to documentation to be rich and user friendly, you can find it and help that Kubuntu

Dotcom Lubutu also has active forums where you can search for solutions.

You can also ask for help with a specific question you may have.

It's at Ubuntu forums.

Doug, if you're not familiar with the term artform it stands for, read the effing manual.

It's an attitude you're much more likely to encounter in other forums than on a winter's forum.

That said, it's always best to search for an answer yourself than to ask a question right away without

even trying.

You'll be learning about the health systems available to you in a boon to an all Linux distro in upcoming

lessons.

Lubutu has a regular patch and release cycle, the latest stable release that provides long term support.

As I write, this is version 2.0 for.

For long term support or Altius version, look for an even numbered major release, 20 Daddo four.

In this example, the next ELT's release will be version 2.0 four, and it will be available sometime

in April of 2022.

Although Boonchu makes new releases every six months, long term supported releases are only every other

year.

LTE releases are supported for five years, while all other releases are only supported for nine months.

My recommendation is to always use the LTE releases.
