Sorry for this silly question but I am a newbie trying to learn linux
and wondering what is Fedora or what is the difference between Fedora
and linux?
Linux is a kernel which provides device drivers, memory management,
networking, and other essential services. It is used by nearly all GNU
systems, and a large number of systems that don't use GNU software.
Fedora is one of the most popular distributions of GNU/Linux, of which
there are many. (Wikipedia lists 184 distributions of Linux based systems)
