From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It is always easier to blame an -ism than built in conflicting human tendencies.
It's easier to ignore reality and believe humanity is naturally ruthless rather than recognize and blame the systems that support encourage the worst tendencies among the worst of us. Hope those boots taste good.
