A collection of programs to make it easier to install an operating system. For example, in the case of a GNU/Linux distribution, the operating system will consist of the Linux kernel and, usually, a set of libraries and utilities from the GNU project, with graphics support from the X Window System. There are currently over three hundred Linux distributions. Most of them are in active development, constantly being revised and improved.
