| | Linux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Linux is a computer operating system and its kernel. | | | Linux was originally developed for Intel 386 microprocessors and now supports all popular computer architectures (and several obscure ones). | | | Linux started out as a terminal emulator written in IA-32 assembler and C, which was compiled into binary form and booted from a floppy disk so that it would run outside of any operating system. |

| | What is the linux operating system |
| | Linux was now accessible to the general computer user. | | | Linux, a UNIX clone, is an operating system that embodies the concept of complete transparency. | | | One of the most important aspects of Linux is that it has been developed and supported by its users, making it relatively easy to get your hands on one of the many free Linux distributions. |

| | Linux, developed by volunteers around the world who coordinated their efforts using the Internet, looks quite similar to Windows and offers computing power similar to that of the more costly Unix operating system, which is used mainly by businesses. | | | Transferring files from a Linux PC to a Windows computer might also result in some glitches. | | | The two have little in common — except that their computers both run on the Linux operating system. |

| | Linux and GNU - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF) |
| | Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. | | | One CD-ROM vendor found that in their ``Linux distribution'', GNU software was the largest single contingent, around 28% of the total source code, and this included some of the essential major components without which there could be no system. | | | Some of our system components, the programming tools, became popular on their own among programmers, but we wrote many components that are not tools (2). |

| | Copy-on-demand is used in a variety of system functions; from the loading of executable and data files to the storage of system information in memory. | | | The operating system writes the contents of a currently used block of memory to the hard disk so that the memory can be used for another purpose. | | | Linus found Minix to be lacking and decided to write his own operating system to satisfy his needs and as a way of exploring the Intel 80386 hardware. |

| | Linux is an "operating system" (OS) for computers. | | | Because Linux is Open, you tend to have thousands of independent developers creating interesting software programs that you can run on a Linux computer, and most of these applications are much less expensive than MS Windows applications or even free. | | | Linux is only a fraction of the cost of MS Windows, especially when you consider MS Windows is sold with a per-computer license (Linux is licensed on a per-user basis). |

| | He describes the way Linux kernel development uses a "Bazaar" approach where code is released as quickly and as often as possible, and that this permits extensive outside input that provides rapid improvements. | | | Work is ongoing on creating highly stable Linux systems; properly configured Linux kernels with suitably configured software on top of that commonly run for hundreds of days without any need to reboot. | | | By running atop a microkernel, Hurd should be more readily debugged than the Linux kernel since system components may be stopped and restarted without the need to reboot the system. |
