A Gentle Introduction to Linux Part one: Boring history. :|
Part two: What's in that Linuxy thing?
Once upon a time, There were no operating system.* *
of course there were some. I'm lying.
Enters “Unix” The OS from Bell Labs
Legal docs are my favorites. Theres always a “glitch” in
them waiting for someone to discover and use it. The Legal Glitch
“Let's be free” And “free speech” is more important than
“free beer”.
Enters “GNU Project”
I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't
be big and professional like GNU) for 386(486) AT clones.
I hate history lessons. Oh crap.
Ok, so, what is that linuxy thing after all?
Linux is a “kernel” A “distribution” is an OS which
uses Linux as kernel.
Linux is flexible.
Linux is flexible.
Linux is flexible.
