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.

Is this to rpm-based distros what Mint is to deb-based distros?
Thanks.
More like what Ubuntu is ( relative to Debian ). They both started a long time ago and have gone their own way.
Even then, I feel that gives the wrong idea. Debian is the community project to Canonical's commercialized Ubuntu, meanwhile, Mageia has its roots in being a community project brought forth from a commercial product.
