From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Voluntarily uploaded data? This feels like that old linux user count site.

I will run that probe on my machines to contribute, though.

For completeness, we should review the involuntarily uploaded data as well.

Don't forget the voluntarily not uploaded data! That can't be left out.
