What are the differences between Linux distributions?

Answer:

There are many Linux distributions because not everyone agrees on various issues. Some distros are willing to include proprietary software; others are not. Some want package managers, some do not. Some want a text-mode installer; other use a LiveCD for installation, or have no installation method at all. Some are security-oriented, and others focus on performance or on size reduction.
