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.

No only OP provided almost no discussion value in the post body, but also this topic has been discussed one million times and nothing more can be talked about.
Isn't the chance for us Lemmings to share experiences a good enough reason to start this thread?
To be frank, not really. What's so special about us Lemmings? I mean, so many other people brighter and more experienced than us have already shared. Whatever we said here can only be a subset to that at most, then why not just read the old threads.
