"Distro" is simply a term for "operating system".
Actually I wouldn't even say that. An <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operating_system" title="wikipedia.org">OS</a wikipedia.org> manages the hardware and software resources of a computer. Applications are above all that, and the collective OS and applications is a "distro" aka distribution.
