Linux

That beautiful OS

Linux (pronounced /ˈlɪnəks/ or /ˈlɪnʊks/) is the name usually given to any Unix-like operating system that uses the Linux kernel. Linux is free software and an open source development.

The name “Linux” comes from the Linux kernel, started in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. The system’s utilities and libraries usually come from the GNU operating system, announced in 1983 by Richard Stallman. The GNU contribution is the basis for the alternative name GNU/Linux.

Linux is predominantly known for its use in servers, being supported by corporations such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Novell, Oracle Corporation, Red Hat, and Sun Microsystems.
