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.

Tried calibre for the first time this week. Geez how simple it was to get it up and place my first eBook on my reader. It was all done in a matter of some few minutes, very intuitively. I didn't even need to get any documentation open. Great tool!

This is one piece of software that has an update almost every time I open it and I'm never ever worried about updating it. 💪
