How compatible is Debian with other distributions of Linux?

The Debian GNU/Linux FAQ - Debian??LFS??Gentoo?????? - Linux...
Debian developers communicate with other Linux distribution creators in an effort to maintain binary compatibility across Linux distributions. Most commercial Linux products run as well under Debian as they do on the system upon which they were built. Debian GNU/Linux adheres to the Linux Filesystem Hierarchy Standard. However, there is room for interpretation in some of the rules within this standard, so there may be slight differences between a Debian system and other Linux systems.

So what's the deal with all the different distributions of Linux?

OSU Physics Faq's
Quite simply, this is the result of the "open source" and "free software" movements. The Linux kernel is distributed by such companies as Debian, SuSe, and Red Hat and they sell it with a number of applications and technical support. The GNU Public License says that people are perfectly free to do this as long as they realize that other people may sell the exact same kernel for less or even nothing. In fact, it is quite easy to get the Linux kernel for free.

How do I add NTFS support to Linux?

NTFS FAQ (en)
Most users won't have to compile anything to enable NTFS support. Almost every Linux distribution (with the notable exception of RedHat) comes with NTFS support out of the box. If you are using RedHat 9 (Shrike), 8.0 (Psyche) or 7.3 (Valhalla), then you can simply install an rpm for NTFS support. The rpm comes will detailed instructions. If you have an older version of RedHat, or another distribution which doesn't include NTFS support, then you will have to compile the kernel yourself.

Why are some Linux distributions sold, not given away?

Linux FAQ - common questions about GNU/Linux | getgnulinux.o...
The concept of free software, refers to freedom, not price. You have the freedom to copy, study, modify, and give free software away. Most companies developing free software make money by selling services around their software, rather than the software itself. This is sometimes done by selling everything as a package: the customer buys the CD, book, and support contract at once. The software can still guarantee your freedoms.

Some Linux distributions are available at no charge, but include restrictive software. Why is it so?

Linux FAQ - common questions about GNU/Linux | getgnulinux.o...
This happens because some hardware manufacturers like ATI or Broadcom do not care about their customer's freedom, and only release restricting firmware and drivers. These are available at no cost (they are freeware) but under restrictive licenses. Distributions such as Ubuntu thus include such components to improve hardware compatibility. Some GNU/Linux distributors do not compromise on the freedom of software, and make sure their distribution are entirely free.

Why is an OpenPKG specific RPM used even if most Linux distributions already come bundled with it?

OpenPKG Project: Documentation: F.A.Q
There are various reasons for this. With our own implementation of RPM, the OpenPKG filesystem hierarchy can achieve a high degree of independence and furthermore be self-contained. A second reason involves flexibility, and only with a custom made RPM can we adjust RPM to truly meet the needs of a OpenPKG system. Finally, with our own RPM we can take a consistent approach to installations over all supported platforms.
