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.

Traffic cost must be insane. Hope they have good hosting and won't be paying through the nose and go broke.

I'm surprised they don't have torrent downloads for it. That would save on bandwidth costs and it's more reliable since torrent clients verify the checksum and automatically redownload any corrupted blocks.
