We are the proud supporters of Linux and the
GPL. Just ask us about it and we will give you the
rundown. If you don't want to ask, read about it below and
ask us if you have any questions. Linux (IPA pronunciation: /ˈlɪnʊks/) is a Unix-like computer operating
system family. Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free
software and of open source development; its underlying source code is
available for anyone to use, modify, and redistribute freely. After the Linux kernel was released to the public on 17 September 1991,
the first Linux systems were completed by combining the kernel with
system utilities and libraries from the GNU project, which led to the
coining of the term GNU/Linux. From the late 1990s onward Linux gained
the support of corporations such as IBM, Sun Microsystems,
Hewlett-Packard, and Novell. Predominantly known for its use in servers, Linux is used as an
operating system for a wider variety of computer hardware than any
other operating system, including desktop computers, supercomputers,
mainframes, and embedded devices such as cellphones. Linux is packaged
for different uses in Linux distributions, which contain the kernel
along with a variety of other software packages tailored to
requirements.
