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.

Beware of the pipeline
windows -> LMDE -> Fedora KDE -> Arch Linux -> Gentoo
LFS feels like the next logical step in that progression.
Gentoo -> Linux From Scratch -> Kernel From Scratch
Windows 98 > Windows XP > Ubuntu > Fedora > Ubuntu > Arch.
Windows -> Linux Mint -> Debian -> Arch -> Kinoite
