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.

Please stop trolling. I'm Greek, I live in Greece, and that's how things are. Greeks don't eat lamb kofta or kebab, that's a middle eastern thing only. Greeks eat shaved pork, or shaved chicken. No beef or lamb ground meat in their fast food. They might look similar, but they're not. The West has this idea that Greeks eat kebab, because many Middle Eastern people have opened shops in Europe and US calling their shops "mediterranean" or even "Greek", while not being so. I've lived for 25 years in Germany, UK and US, and especially in the US, the only "Greek" souvlaki shops I could find in California were actually not Greek, they were kebab houses. Authentic greek souvlaki/pitas I found only in NY, and in 1 shop in Utah all these years. None in California (they were real Greek restaurants, but not souvlaki/pita places -- these are different, since they're street food).
Dude calm down. Nobody cares that much, and I'm sure you don't speak for every Greek person in the world.
