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.

In english you can use "they" if you dont know the persons pronouns ;D also pretty sure OP is female
But valid point, Debian is weird
You can, but you can also use "he", as English has a masculine generic.
I think that most Linux distros are based on Debian these days, as Fedora, the other major "parent" distro, seems not to be doing super-well, so I'd guess that most distros are probably using the sudo group.

Slackware looks not very alive these days, so I don't think that there's much going on with the child distros there any more.
I keep reading the install manual then I have 3 beers and a nap.
