[MPLS Beginner] Please, someone explain route distribution protocols for MPLS

After quite a while of googling, I've been managed to figure out that MP-BGP has some sort of support for MPLS, LDP is a protocol for "distributing labels" (where they actually come from, I have no clue), meanwhile RSVP-TE and OSPF MPLS-TE exist with done relation to the topic.

I don't know if I'm searching for the wrong terms, but the best I've been able to come across are various Cisco articles giving particular setups without much explanation of what the various protocols do and how they interact.

Thanks in advance...

PS: Also, for bonus points, possible direction to achieve a lab with only linux-based routers?
