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.

K-9 mail is eventually going to become Thunderbird for Android, just for anyone who didn't know.
I don't remember why but I switched from k9 to fairemail a long time ago. I think it might have been the branding lol... Shallow I know but I just can't get passed the logo / name. I might give it another shot once it's rebranded.
