The operating system consists of the Linux kernel and, a set of libraries and utilities from the GNU project, with graphics support from the X Window System.
Most distro's have specialized target audiences and this changes the experience the end user gets. Some are customized for new users while others target experts. There are currently over six hundred Linux distributions available and out of those over three hundred are in active development.
Below is a list of the most popular (and in my opinion the best) distro's available out there.
