      It talks about SUSE, Debian, and Fedora families. The first few modules were general overview of how the Linux kernel and boot loader work, and they break out the steps in examples (at least those I have done up through chapter 4) for a distro in each family with screenshots. It's really helped me just doing what I have done thus far.

      That is an unexpected lineup. One enterprise distro (Suse) which is primarily popular in Europe (and with me) and two hobby distros. That's weird.

      I would expect Red Hat, Suse and Ubuntu if there were three.

          Ummm, duh. But you remind me of Homestarrunner. It's all about word association, man.

            The specific distros they show are CentOS, Ubuntu, and OpenSUSE. Notice I said families above.

              Fedora is considered part of the RPM family 🙂 Although CentOS is a downstream of it.

                        Thanks - I'm already taking three other classes over winter, we'll see if I actually have time to audit this one as well.
