- dredmorbius 7y agoMost Linux distributions are effectively services as well. Debian (or Ubuntu, Mint, CentOS, Fedora, Slack, Gentoo, etc. etc.) are not worth much without the repositories, access to them, and updates, provided by those distributions. An extension of the notion that it's the package management that makes the distro: it's the package archive and access which make the distro. (Details of packagers, packaging, deps resolution, etc., also matter.) But that is a service offered, to revive an old fashioned term, not based on commerce but with grace.
