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.

The salesman I was dealing with seemed to have no trouble using it, but all he was doing was using a web browser and some database access.
What do you use for database access?
I didn't work there. I was a customer. I didn't know what they were using. I didn't recognize the interface, I just barely know enough about databases to recognize that's what he was doing.
