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 mean I still use the iso attached to a virtual cd-rom to create virtual machines
Yeah but that's not limited to physical DVD size constraints.
Sorry, the issue is size? Like, "we can't fit into these clothes so we're gonna go Jabba the Hut", all naked and corpulent?
Lmfao, yes though the install ISO getting too large to fit on standard dvds
So we need to remind them again what 'minimal' means? Getting to be every decade now.
