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.

In the company I work, we have to use jumpbox + "password" from proprietary code generator.
Imagine going through this, then you suddenly need 2nd terminal. Inconvenience doing it again in another terminal?
Well, there is a solution:
tmuxCTRL+Bthen". And now you have 2 terminals.Also tmux is great for "quick solution" kind of things - to leave something running in the background. Talking about background - you can have many terminals open, from only 1 SSH session. :)
