Excited to see this world of Linux. A general question came in mind regarding the origin of Linux.<br><br>Well, it (Linux) is basically a kernel -- perhaps same in majority of all the distros, almost all. Well, openSUSE also uses the technique of .rpm which is again Red Hat Package Manager. So basically i get to know that it was initially in Linux two sides -- 1) debian 2) rpm (as already discussed) but just wanted to know that openSUSE also has been derived from Redhat like many other distros have....?<br>
<br>And out of debian and .rpm, both seem to be the oldest but I guess debian is more old...? Was just talking of linux not unix (like freebsd).<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Well, this question might seem silly to somebody but being a beginner these question(s) often come in mind, so I just get to know the better experiences of the people -- of course Linux experts. If it (this question) is irrelevant, I am sorry, just cancel the question.<br>
