Well, I don't know anything about lindots, but the various flavors of

these aren't flavors of, or kinds of Linux. Rather, these and Linux are
really all kinds of Unix.
A look into the history of Unix is the place to go to get a handle on
how all these fit together, and why they tend to look so much alike to
the casual user. Here are some good starting points:

If Linux can't solve your computing problem, you need a different problem.
