First off are the major distros, then some derivatives. I will preface this with a disclaimer, because I?ve certainly seen flames before on this subject. These are general observations, meant to give users a better idea of the scope of various choices, not an endorcement or slam of any one. This will cover only a handful of distros, and not even the best. I hope to add more later. (edit: This has hit Slashdot, and I?ve had a lot of feedback, some helpful, some flames. Much less flaming that I expected. I only managed to get in a limited number of distro?s, I hope to add more later. I personally love MEPIS btw. In terms of the core of Slack being BSD based I?m referring to the init scripts. By saying core I hoped to make it more understandable for those that don?t know what init scripts are. And I?m absolutly wrong on how to say SuSE. I will make the change. Also fixed at least a lot of the its/it?s stuff, and the Debian trees -JWH)

There are two major trunks for most Linux distros. There are plenty of ground up distros, but most are derived either from RedHat using RPMs (RPM stands for RedHat Package Manager) or Debian using dpkg files. This file formats are used to install software on your computer. Currently, the biggest distros not derived from RedHat or Debian are Slackware and Gentoo which also have their own package management systems with various advantages/disadvantages.
