Debiansearch for term

A GNU/Linux distribution.

One of the many GNU/Linux distributions. One can distinguish between commercially-backed distributions, such as Fedora (Red Hat), SUSE Linux (Novell), Ubuntu (Canonical Ltd.), MontaVista, and Mandriva Linux and community distributions such as Debian and Gentoo, though there are other distributions that, while not governed by a community, are neither driven by a corporation, perhaps most famously, Slackware.
