1. List at least three different flavors of Linux or Linux Distributions. How are they different from
UNIX? How are they different from each other? How are they similar?
Solution
The three different linux distributors which are devoleped by different organisations with some
type of rules are:
ubuntu: It is currently using by the most popular distro of linux. It is very much user friendly and
most reliable among all the flavors of linux.
RedHat: It is another distribution which is used next to the ubuntu. It is a poweful desktop GUI,
The main difference between earliar one to the present one is it provides security.
Linux mint: it is also used mostly by the users. The main thing is it is the manipulated and added
versions of the ubuntu.
These three are different from the unix like Linux can easily downloaded from the internet and
redistribute the licenses. but when coming to the unix must take the copy rights and take it as a
reliable source.
Another one which have to take it consideration is linux is user friendly where as unix is some
difficult to understand for the users but security is very high.
The main similarities of the unix and linux are the functionalities that are followed is similar but
difference will be shown in their features. These both supports multiple users.
