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.

Worth the read just for the ldd rabbit trail and bumping into Ulrich Drepper being an ass on Red Hat bugzilla. Unlocking fond memories.

Just don't read the comments. It's mostly people attacking China and people attacking those people for attacking China.
