Abstract: The present invention relates to a booting disk including a master boot record (MBR) stored in a first region and a globally unique identifier (GUID) partition table (GPT) stored in a second region, wherein the booting disk has a hybrid MBR partition structure in which an MBR partition used by the MBR and a GPT partition used by the GPT are mixed. The GPT partition may include an operating system (OS) partition configured to store an OS and a GPT storage partition configured to store data, the MBR partition may include a GPT protective partition configured to protect the GPT partition and an MBR storage partition configured to store data, the GPT storage partition and the MBR storage partition may be the same the same starting address and size, a starting address of the GPT protective partition may be a logical block addressing (LBA) #1 of the booting disk, and a partition size thereof is zero.

Abstract: Provided are a distribution method for a Linux-based operating system (OS) and a system using the same. The distribution method comprises (a) acquiring, by a server, information about a client through an information acquirer upon sensing a connection of the client to the server; (b) determining, by the server, the information about the client through an information discriminator; (c) retrieving, by the server, a version and type of an OS corresponding to a storage medium of the client through an information retriever; and (d) transmitting, by the server, the OS retrieved in (c) to the client through an OS installer to allow the client automatically install the OS on the storage medium of the client.
