Linux

I like Linux. It may not be the greatest thing since sliced bread but it's at least as good as a free lunch and the recipe is even included. It's a great operating system for engineers, programmers and other geeks. It's in general not so good for other people. Perhaps that will change in time, maybe there will be a less filling Linux-lite for the average consumer.

Linux and Linus are there any connections? At the first sight no.But if you look closer, you can see the imgaination behind the ideas.
Linus, invented by Charles M.Schulz doesn't do much, but insisting on being a child, behaving like children do, refuses to be influenced by anybody or anything – that has made him famous for gnerations.
Behind Linux in the contrary you can discover the will of poeple not to be depend on huge firms with much money and many paid brains in the background.They developed their own computer-programm-effecitv, cheap and successfull.

So Linus an Linux are both winners, they go there own way.

Linux is not the name of that unixoid operating system – Linux is the name of the kernel. The operating system itself is called »GNU«, which is a recursive acronyme for »GNU's Not Unix«. The GNU project has its own kernel, Hurd, but since Hurd isn't finished yet, and will probably not be finished within the next few years, you can't use the GNU system without Linux.
The correct name of the entire operating system, with kernel, is therefore »GNU/Linux«. If you're using an experimental Hurd system, the entire OS is called »GNU/Hurd«, but since Hurd is the official GNU kernel, it might be referred to as »GNU« only.

Linux is a kernel for a POSIX system, like GNU. Most people think that Linux is an operating system, but the system is GNU (acronym for »GNU's Not Unix«), and Linux is just the kernel, so the name of the entire system is GNU/Linux.
