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.

You don't need to maintain a list. Either don't have it at all or make it a free form text input.
Nah, that won't work because people are exposed to other users based on their preferences.
They would need to match preferences exactly, which I could allow them to specify but I think it would overcomplicate things without much benefit.
Okay, that's different. In most cases it's there for display purposes only.
