~~[[w:~~Linux ~~distribution|Linux distribution]]s~~ are available in a very wide variety. Choosing only one is a difficult task. Popular examples that have been around for a while are ~~[[w:~~Red Hat ~~Enterprise Linux|Red Hat]]~~, ~~[[w:~~Debian~~|Debian]]~~, ~~[[w:Slackware|~~Slackware]] and ~~[[w:Mandriva Linux|~~Mandrake]] (now called Mandriva Linux). Others like ~~[[w:~~Knoppix~~|Knoppix]]~~, ~~[[w:~~Ubuntu ~~(Linux distribution)|Ubuntu]]~~ and ~~[[w:~~SUSE ~~Linux|SUSE]]~~ are also popular choices, but there are many, many others. ~~''See the [[w:Comparison of Linux distributions|Comparison of Linux distributions]] at Wikipedia for an exhaustive list''~~
