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.

Eh, what is it doing that requires 200MB+ memory?
That is a very good question. Short answer: I don't know as I am not familiar with the project.
I have had a brief look at the issue tracker and it doesn't seem to be mentioned on there. Perhaps I will raise an issue later when I am at my computer (or if anyone else beats me to it then please feel free).
