A distro-tan is a rendition of a distribution of Linux. A distribution is a compilation of software around the Linux-kernel as well as an installer and a package management system to install and deinstall software. There are countless different Linux-distributions, so the work is nowhere near being finished. Generally, most distro-tans look similar due to being based on the same kernel, but there are some remarkable exceptions. Nearly all of thhem carry a spear like Linux-tan Some remarkable distro-tans are:
- Damnsmalllinux-tan: She is tiny, tiny enough to be able to use a toothpick instead of a spear. She has a backpack, which looks like a penguin. She has a tendency to be where no one expects her to be.
- Lindows-tan: The original designer of her is unknown, she is drawn as girl with a white T-shirt or dress. Her hair changes from green to blue on the way downwards.
- NepaLinux-tan: an asian girl with dark skin and short hair, who only speaks Nepali. her spear has instead of the three banners a nepalese flag.
- RedHat-tan and Fedora-tan: These designs seem only to differ in the colors in order to show the similarity of redHat Linux and Fedora Core.
- SuSE-tan: Despite being a chamleongirl, she does not change her color. Her clothes and her tail are in the green of Geeko, the SuSE-mascot.
- Ubuntu-tan: The friendly distro-tan is one of the few colored OS-tans due to her African heritage.
Complete list of distro-tans:
- Arch-tan (Juzo-kun's design)
- Barbie Linux-tan (Aurora Borealis's design)
- Damnsmalllinux-tan (Aurora Borealis's design)
- Debian-tan (Juzo-kun's design)
- Fedora-tan (Juzo-kun's design)
- Gentoo-tan (Juzo-kun's design)
- Knoppix-tan (2 different designs exist)
- Lindows-tan (she is still called Lindows-tan despite changed name of the distribution) (many different reditions, but one design)
- Mandriva-tan (Juzo-kun's design and Aurora Borealis's design exist)
- NepaLinux-tan (Kami-Tux's design)
- RedHat-tan (Juzo-kun's design)
- Slackware-tan (Juzo-kun's design)
- SuSE-tan (rather consistent design, only small differences)
- Tinfoil Hat Linux-tan (Aurora Borealis's design)
- Ubuntu-tan (Juzo-kun's design)
