Summary
The short list in this chapter is just a tiny portion of the Linux distributions available. The list is largely based on the popularity and marketability of skills, as well as our own experience and knowledge that we acquired over the years. They are not, by any means, the best or only choices that you have.
We tried to point out where the main strengths lie and what a user’s relationship is with respective distributions.
It’s not likely we were able to answer all your questions. Each of the Linux distributions from our list has its own book out there, and there is even more knowledge on blogs, wikis, and YouTube tutorials.
In the next chapter, we will dive into the magical world of the command line.
