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.

I dislike Apple and don't intend to own any of their products, but one thing they do well is forcing high quality listings on their app stores.

Do they? Whenever I search for something I don't already know on the App Store on my iPad it takes a sharp downturn as soon as you're part the first few apps. It's like someone put together a collection of scamware on purpose.
