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.

The movie came out in 1999. In the movie, they state that it's 1999 (in the Matrix anyway). Neo is pretty tech savvy and a renowned hacker.
My assumption is he would've used FreeBSD. Or, maybe, Slackware. But I'm leaning more towards BSD.
Nah. It is DOS with Norton Commander.
I just can't believe I just read the words Norton Commander.
It's like the Proust story where he smells a macaroon and all of a sudden he's remembering an avalanche of things long forgotten.
My brain defragging
