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.

This is a far cry from big news, considering they've got so much trouble even keeping the kernel stable enough to run for long periods of time if not on a very specific spec of hardware.

I'll get excited to try it when they start refactoring , get a non-insane structure in place, and get a bigger list of supported hardware into the kernel. I'm still confused on why they're working on a server version already without the above anyway. Cart before the horse.

I thought it's a microkernel Os.. that's why making it a useable and stable os for everyday was a little challenging
