transcription, транскрипция: [ n. ]
1. A software source tree packaged for distribution; but see kit . Since about 1996 unqualified use of this term often implies ` Linux distribution'. 2. A vague term encompassing mailing lists and Usenet newsgroups (but not BBS fora ); any topic-oriented message channel with multiple recipients. 3. An information-space domain (usually loosely correlated with geography) to which propagation of a Usenet message is restricted; a much-underutilized feature.
