There are many different versions of Linux, and unlike other commercial operating systems that
are controlled, distributed and supported by only one company, the core of
Linux is free to distribute and use. This creates a situation in which numerous
companies, organizations and individuals have developed their own specific
version of the Linux operating system.
When these versions are made publically available for use, they are known as
“distributions”.
When trying to select a
Linux distribution keep below points in mind
1) Is the code base stable
2) Does it change much
3) Is it easy to update software packages?
4) Is it easy to upgrade from one major version to the next?

Two popular linux distributions are Fedora and Centos.
Fedora is less stable then centos. RHEL uses fedora for
testing new packages. So Fedora releases new visions in sort duration of time
approx every 6 month.
Centos is more stable as after successful testing of new
packages and updates on Fedora it moves them on centos. So it’s releases new
updates after long duration and it’s a serve version.
