+<b>What is a port?</b>
+<p>When making AOO available for another operating system or CPU architecture, then this is called "porting or a port".
+Usually this is done on the source code level and is available for free.
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porting">More general information here</a>.</p>
+
+<b>What is a distribution?</b>
+<p>When taking an already available AOO installation and package it in a different way to make it ready to run directly,
+e.g., from a USB stick resp. CD/DVD or on another Linux OS, then this is called "distribution or distro". This can be
+available for free but also for a charge fee is possible.
