Hi, 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
