Chinese distribution

Where is the Chinese backed distribution? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ceros (talk • contribs) 29 okt 2006 04:48‎ (UTC)

Red Hat

How come Red Hat is not here but Fedora is here? I would add some of th info, but I can't enter the tech info so I'm not spoiling other people's good work...

It's just a list - most of the "tech info" here is propagandist (--------) that should be replaced by hard facts with Comparison of Linux distributions anyways. Therefore, just add it yourself. ¦ Reisio 09:44, 2005 August 18 (UTC)

It's mentioned there. Look above commercial distributions. Jaalto 2005-11-24

Discontinued, now for sale

monomaxos.com was formerly a porn site, now for sale. This Ubuntu flavour is discontinued. Please remove link. --— Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.61.62.243 (talk • contribs) 22 feb 2020 02:00 (UTC)

is linux monolithic ?

linux is not monolithic it's modular it was one of the first popular modular kernels; which can be micro if the user desires. mach uses different file structs to talk to its parts and is written by different people - is it definitely different but not by much if talking about modularity alone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.219.207.23 (talk • contribs) 4 apr 2016 14:43 (UTC)
