- _msw_ 8y agoHi, I work at AWS on compute services, but spent a lot of my life building Linux distros. For those of us with Linux distro building experience, this may be initially confusing. But calling a curated collection of software a "distro" has been used for decades outside of Linux distributions. For example, there are multiple distributions of TeX, like TeX Live, MacTeX, etc. http://www.tug.org/interest.html#free http://www.tug.org/interest.html#free See also the Anaconda Distribution for Python and R: https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/ https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/ (not to be confused with the Anaconda that I know and love: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_(installer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_(installer) )
