Popular Linux Flavours

RedHat: Most of us who started using Linux began with RedHat. RedHat when made commercial people started shifting to Fedora.

Fedora: Many Linux users started with Fedora initially, but due to installation issues while booting from disk initially a lot of them gave up and abandoned using it. As of today there aren't any faults as such and people are using it.

CentOS:  Its a very popular flavor of Linux in sense - very easy to use, and the server can be set up by booting a CD and using the easy-to-follow instructions. It manages all of the hardware drivers that are needed to execute business programs. CentOS is quite similar to RedHat as everything in the operating system is essentially in the identical place on the computer.

Ubuntu: Its a hot choice today. Is is Debian-based Linux. If a lot of open source practical applications that you’re going to use are built for Ubuntu, you can expect most of the problems that other distributions have to be solved- for these applications.
