There are a range of versions of Linux - part of it's appeal is that it can be used for a wide range of computers, from phones to supercomputers.

Linux is based on the Unix operating system; both can offer real time, multitasking, multiuser, lightweight and flexible systems - although not necessarily all of these at the same time.

There's three "major" operating systems as of 2008: Mac OS, Windows, and Linux. Mac OS & Windows have had several versions through the years, and Linux has several different releases - referred to as "distros" - that all have their own version history.
