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 read that apparently if you don't input a password for root that it apparently installs sudo. I might be wrong about this but could be worth a Google

That kinda makes sense but I never would have found it on my own.

Third paragraph. I'm not trying to be a smart-ass, I also installed Debian a few times without seeing it.
