3. Write comparative of different versions of Linux operating system


ANSWER :

1. Ubuntu :

The Ubuntu project has a focus on providing a solid desktop (and server) experience, and it
isn’t afraid to build its own custom technology to do it. Ubuntu used to use the GNOME 2
desktop environment, but it now uses its own Unity desktop environment. Ubuntu is even
building its own Mir graphical server while other distributions are working on the Wayland.

Ubuntu is modern without being too bleeding edge. It offers releases every six months, with a
more stable LTS (long term support) release every two years. Ubuntu is currently working on
expanding the Ubuntu distribution to run on smartphones and tablets.
2. Debian :

Debian is an operating system composed only of free, open-source. The Debian project has
been operating since 1993 — over 20 years ago! This widely respected project is still
releasing new versions of Debian, but it’s known for moving much more slowly than
distributions like Ubuntu or Linux Mint. This can make it more stable and conservative,
which is ideal for some systems.

Ubuntu was originally founded to take the core bits of stable Debian and improve on them
more quickly, packaging the software together into a user-friendly system that’s more
frequently updated.
3. Fedora :

Fedora is a project with a strong focus on free software — you won’t find an easy way to
install proprietary graphics drivers here, although third-party repositories are available.
Fedora is bleeding edge and contains the latest versions of software.

Unlike Ubuntu, Fedora doesn’t make its own desktop environment or other software. Instead,
the Fedora project uses “upstream” software, providing a platform that integrates all this
upstream software without adding their own custom tools or patching it too much. Fedora
comes with the GNOME 3 desktop environment by default, although you can also get “spins”
that come with other desktop environments.

Fedora is sponsored by Red Hat, and is the foundation for the commercial Red Hat Enterprise
Linux project. Unlike RHEL, Fedora is bleeding edge and not supported for long. If you want
a more stable release that’s supported for longer, Red Hat would prefer you use their
Enterprise product.

4. RedHat Enterprise Linux :

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a commercial Linux distribution intended for servers and
workstations. It’s based on the open-source Fedora project, but is designed to be a stable
platform with long-term support.

Red Hat uses trademark law to prevent their official Red Hat Enterprise Linux software from
being redistributed. However, the core software is free and open-source. CentOS is a
community project that takes the Red Hat Enterprise Linux code, removes all Red Hat’s
trademarks, and makes it available for free use and distribution. It’s a free version of RHEL,
so it’s good if you want a stable platform that will be supported for a long time. CentOS and
Red Hat recently announced they’re collaborating, so CentOS is now part of Red Hat itself.
