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.

Great distro, I ran it on the daily too for a good while. It's extremely well designed and if you are willing to give the benefit of the doubt with its design opinions, I think you'll often come to agree with them (not all, but many)
Only thing I don't like about it was the bugs and not having an in-place upgrade path stops me from calling it a "beginner friendly" distribution. I admire their ambition though, given they're just a small boutique distro and they've done some great work for UX in the free desktop.
