LINUX

Linux is a generic term referring to Unix-like computer operating systems based on the Linux kernel. Linux development is one of the most prominent examples of free and open source software collaboration, all the underlying source code can be used, freely modified, and redistributed by anyone under the terms of the GNU. Linux is gaining popularity as a desktop/laptop operating system, with the rise of netbooks and the Ubuntu distribution.
