What is a distro?
I sat through an interesting debate recently on the Austin Linux Group mailing list over the meaning of the term"distro." Some LUG members felt"distro" implies Linux, while others took a wider view, claiming it could be any one of several possible platforms, including OpenSolaris.
[Technically, a distribution is any software package, since software is, after all,"distributed", not sold. You can get a distribution of KDE or of Gnumeric or a given programming language or library. - dcparris]
