Who here knows about Linux?

It's a UNIX like kernel written by Linus Torvalds with assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net:

http://www.kernel.org/

But what's GNU? That's the question you should be asking:

http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html

Incidentially there are other free UNIX like operating systems available too:

http://www.openbsd.org/

http://www.netbsd.org/

http://www.minix3.org/

http://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/hurd-cd

http://www.opendarwin.org/

http://www.opensolaris.org/

But why all this?
