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.

Is actually great since it forces you to learn which saves you much more time in the long run.

But most people can't see past their nose.

Edit

Can't believe somebody got offended by this...

It is great when you have time to learn, but when you are trying to troubleshoot while understand basically nothing of the wiki ... it is not good.
