From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ok, the question is: What would each distro taste like?
RedHat: A dark roast, bitter but caffeinated. You curse with each sip and can't stop drinking it. You also pay the barista to tell you how to hold the mug.
Red hat is the free coffee you get in the office at IBM
