Question: I think they are inherently the same thing and don't deserve multiple tags. 

Breakdown of the tags:

* [distro](https://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/distro "show questions tagged 'distro'") x 15
* [distribution](https://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/distribution "show questions tagged 'distribution'") x 40
* [distributions](https://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/distributions "show questions tagged 'distributions'") x 3
* [linux-distro](https://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/linux-distro "show questions tagged 'linux-distro'") x 14

Answer: 
These tags have been destroyed.

[Please care for the widows and orphans](https://askubuntu.com/tags/untagged).
I think we should merge them. The people saying we should destroy them, what if the people are asking about Kubuntu, or similar distro's to Ubuntu. (I, personally, count Kubuntu, Lubuntu and all the other "untu" distro's as seperate fom Ubuntu)

Maybe their asking about the differences between Fedora and Ubuntu. These tags would apply. So, why destroy them?
