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.

That's the problem with doing everything yourself.
You also have to maintain everything, yourself.

Yeah. Hey wait? Fuck you!
I'm sorry but Linux Council has already decided your fate.
I thought it was the GNU wizards circle that decides these things.
Are you telling me I have been going to the wrong meetings?!
I swear this Linux fragmentation will be the death of it.
I am the Linux Council!
Oh yeah? Then I'll make my own Linux Council! With blackjack and hookers!
Are you threatening me master jedi?
