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.

You just got to be a bit more stealthy. When I was in middle school I figured out that I could completely bypass group policy if I unplugged the network cable at the right time.

When one of the school IT person questioned me I just said, I do not know why it looks like that. I also never shared my secret

That's a nice find.

Yep, but that's not the lesson the school should be teaching, at least for it's best interest. Fostering white hat attitudes would probably work out better. Instead I learned the authorities were idiots that can't be reasoned with.

That is a very important lesson to learn early, because the same applies when you're grown up.
