Re: [orca-list] Ubuntu, Mint and there flavors. What's the difference between all of them?

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel panix com>]

When mate and gnome and xfce and kde and lxde and cinnamon are in use they 
each one per system run inside distros like debian mint ubuntu slackware 
slint fedora and the like.  None of these could work without a kernel and 
a distro and no distro could work without a kernel.  The kernel is the 
equivalent of command.com in windows.
