LINUX

-

Linux (lee'nuhks/ or /li'nuks/,_not_/li:'nuhks) is a free
and open-source operating system developed by Linus
Torvalds and friends that was first announced August
25, 1991 . The Linux kernel runs on numerous different
platforms including the Intel and Alpha platform and is
available under the GNU General Public License.
The system can be distributed, used, and expanded
free of charge. In this way, developers have access to
all the source codes, thus being able to integrate new
functions or to find and eliminate programming bugs
quickly. Thereby drivers for new adapters (SCSI
controller, graphics cards, etc.) can be integrated very
rapidly.
Where is Linux used?
Presently, Linux is successfully being used by several
millions of users worldwide. The composition of users
varies from private users, training companies,
universities, research centers, and companies. Below
are some examples of where Linux is used today.
Android phones and tablets - Android phones and
tablets use a form of Linux.
Servers - A vast majority of the web servers that run
many web pages (including this one) are using Linux.
TV, Cameras, DVD players, etc. - Most of the
appliances that use some form of a computer use
Linux.
Amazon - Many of the computers that help run
Amazon use Linux.
Google - Computers that help run Google and Google
search results use a Linux.
Planes - Airplanes computers and screens you watch
on the plane use Linux.
U.S. Postal service - The computers and servers that
help run systems to sort and manage mail in the U.S.
NYSE - The New York Stock Exchange uses Linux to
help run its exchange.
LHC - The Large Hadron Collider is using Linux.
OLPC - The One Laptop Per Child program used Linux
on all of its computers
Linux distributions, flavors, and variants
Linux may be obtained in two different ways. All the
necessary components can be downloaded free of
charge from the Internet, which means an operating
system can be assembled for almost nothing. An
alternative is to use a so-called distribution, which is a
Linux variation offered by many companies. They
include a wide range of applications and full programs
that significantly simplify the installation of Linux.
There are hundreds of different distributions of Linux
that have been released. Below are just a few that we
currently have listed on our site. A great site that lists
almost every distribution, as well as rankings is
DistroWatch .
Tip: You can see our How do I know what kernel or
distro of Linux I have? document for information on
identifying what distribution of Linux you have.
