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.

WOW! You can prob simulate the big bang with that thing and still have some cores left over to play DOOM and tv screen within CRYSIS. s
I'm a developer, so most of those cores end up being dedicated to VMs for testing, but occasionally, I'll shut them all down and write a thread app just to watch the system monitor create spaghetti.
