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.

You've edited this post and left this in (or added it!?) so I suppose you mean it!

I just made a mistake, sorry :-P English us not my first language.

Sorry, I was just joking; it's clearly a typo and I don't think anyone misunderstood (or maybe even noticed).

No problem, man ;-) I didn't take it as an offense. Have a nice day!
