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.

The protests against the War on Iraq represented a small percentage of the US population and ran out of steam in a few weeks.

These are just basic facts about what happened. Liberals went home pretty quickly.

Just like how they did a pink hat protest, i.e. police-sanctioned march, and then went home for years.
