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.

I remember them being exactly the dame many years ago

This is one of the reason I like Debian. They don't change stuff unless there's a good reason to. Network configuration on my Debian servers is in /etc/network/interfaces in mostly the same format it was in 20 years ago (the only difference today is that I'm dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 everywhere).
