For the Debian
system it is a bit look like a pyramid. However at the base is a Linux.
Then at the top of all are basic tools and mostly from GNU. Then the
Debian developers act as architects and for the coordinators which is we
should carefully organizing about system and fitting everything
together to an integrated stable operating system which is known as
Debian GNU/Linux.
The Debian Linux is creating by an all-volunteer
internet based development. They are around hundreds of volunteers
working on it. Most of them are in charge of small particular of the
software packages and those very familiar with the software they will
package. These volunteer they work together is following a strict set of
guidelines governing how packages are assembled. For this guideline it
is developed from the cooperatively discussions on internet mailing
lists.
The system requirement for PC to run this Debian Linux
operating system is must at least giving 4MB memory and 35MB of
available hard disk space. If users want to essential full installation,
it needs 800MB. To install everything it needs around 2GB.
Fedora
core: The Fedora core is the basic Linux operating system, it designed
especially for developers and hobbyists. As the tested of red hat
enterprise Linux, it allow enterprise user to view the latest features
before they are released for the enterprise and Fedora Linux is also a
complete distribution. It includes a wide variety of command, utilities
and applications. In addition the Fedora is primarily geared toward
desktop users, although it is a little adapting but also can be used to
run server computers. For this Fedora is designed to let user easy to be
use. If anyone using the windows or Mac OS will feel right at home.
Moreover,
the Fedora focus largely on the desktop which is it provide the
powerful office suite by default, example, as well as some excellent
pieces of internet software. And also the Fedora works "straight out of
the box". When user installed, it should be ready to use without any
further work.
System requirement for the PC to run on Fedora core is
Pentium-class- Intel-compatible 32-bit, 200 MHZ, then for the RAM it
required at least 256 MB for GUI mode and the hard disk it minimum
require 1GB out of 100MB free space.
Gentoo Linux: This Gentoo Linux
is started by Daniel Robbins with the name "Enoch" in 199. After that it
change the name to "Gentoo" cater due to speed increase as a result of
EGCS adoption. Then the first version of Gentoo Linux 1.0 was released
on day 31 March 2002. Besides that, the Gentoo Linux is referred as a
Source Based Distribution" which means that build all the software will
directly use from "Source Code". So through this source code developers
are able to read and adjust, but computer cannot understand the source
code, so that in order to make computer understand source code it need
to compile into binaries then computer only able to understand it.
Other
than that, Gentoo Linux is a special flavor of Linux that can
automatically optimized and customized for any applications and the
Gentoo Linux can become an ideal secure server, development
workstations, professional desktop, gaming system, embedded solution or
other, this is because it near unlimited adaptability, so we calling
Gento Linux as a meta distribution.
Arch Linux: At the beginning the
Arch Linux was started in 2001 by Judd Vient when he discovered he could
not find any distribution that met his ideals. By the way Arch has
taken the ideas from Debian and Gentoo, which has gradually evolved into
the simple, powerful and stable distribution together with active user
and developer population.
Arch Linux is an open source and an
i686-optimized Linux of the distribution that was originally based on
the ideas from CRUX, this distribution is developed by Per Liden. For
the arch it is fast, lightweight flexible and simple. Compared the
lightweight to RedHat it is more simple and design make it easy to be
extend and mode into whatever kind of system that user build it.
Moreover,
Arch Linux also strives to maintain latest stable version of those
software. And it also strives to use some newer features that are
available for Linux users such as ext3/reiserfs and devas support.
