Distribution
  • In LINUX, the LINUX kernel plus other programs taken primarily from the GNU project.
  • n. A software source tree packaged for distribution; but see kit.
  • A vague term encompassing mailing lists and Usenet newsgroups (but not BBS fora); any topic-oriented message channel with multiple recipients.
  • An information-space domain (usually loosely correlated with geography) to which propagation of a Usenet message is restricted; a much-underutilized feature.
