Ubuntu, Debian, Android, Gentoo.
Larry the Cow is the unofficial mascot of Gentoo, a semi-popular Linux distribution.
Gentoo Linux was created on 2002-03-31.
You can read the Gentoo Linux News online at the official Gentoo Linux website. They update their website with the latest features available to Gentoo Linux as well as a variety of articles to make the switch over to Gentoo.
Gentoo is a Linux-based operating system which is open-source. It's an operating system where the experienced user has primal power in configuring the system. Linus Torvalds created the Linux kernel. More information about Gentoo can be found on gentoo.org.
GNU/Linux? Plenty. Debian, Ubuntu, Arch Linux, Gentoo, Slackware, Fedora, and many more. Non-GNU Linux? Android.
For the most part, Debian, Ubuntu (and derivatives), Gentoo, and Arch the top few of the most popular distributions for games (not to mention Steam can run on these, and that SteamOS was originally built on top of Gentoo, then later changed to a Debian base).
There's Ubuntu, Debian, Red Had, Fedora, Gentoo, Arch, Mint, SuSE, Slackware... A good way to find out is to look into Distro Watch. The web site more or less keeps a monitor on how popular a given Linux distribution is.
Gentoo Linux can be challenging to install. There are several ways to receive guidance on the best way to install it. There are instructions on the Gentoo website. The Wiki How website would also be helpful.
Yes and no.Yes in the sense that Ubuntu is just like any other Linux distribution. It *is* a Linux distribution. So to say that Ubuntu is not Linux is inaccurate.It's NOT the same as Linux in that Ubuntu is a DISTRIBUTION of Linux, not the Linux operating system itself. The Linux operating system, as I like to define it, is the kernel, the drivers, and the kernelspace it provides.I have often seen more and more Ubuntu users who seem to not recognize the relationship of Ubuntu and Linux. The only other Linux "sphere" worse in this regard in recognizing that it is Linux is Android, also Linux, but between how Google markets it and the kind of userspace it has so many people don't often recognize Android as Linux either. Short answer is that Ubuntu is Linux. As is Arch, Red Hat, SuSE, Fedora, Gentoo, Android, WebOS, your router firmware, Tivo firmware, or Debian.
The Gentoo Handbooks will generally provide information - but generally you download the Stage3 TAR archive, and decompress it to a partitioned and mounted structure, and the instructions will take you from there.
Ubuntu is just one distribution of GNU/Linux and is, itself, based mostly upon the Debian distribution of GNU/Linux.
