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.

There are way too many answers after you finish this quiz. You should recommend, at most, three options after the quiz. This doesn't help narrow down your options much at all.
I think the idea is to rank them from most to least suitable based on your answers, not narrow down. Just pick the "top 3" if you want a smaller sample.
Edit: this is not well documented, but it seems to be the case: the results are sorted based on the number of "reasons" to pick it according to your answers.
Yeah woah, these questions were supposed to narrow it down but instead gave me way to many options most of which weren't all that suitable at all.
