Which leads me to ask, what makes a distribution? Obviously, the GNU/Linux
kernel, plus some other utilities, but how about the installation system? I
think that's one thing that would distinguish the face of one distro from
another. But heck, I can probly create a GUI front end to a Slack distro but
that might not count.

Thoughts? Any definitions online?

Mabuhay.
