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.

If you're participating in a lynch mob then I believe you're responsible for what happens.

If you don't see a problem with this, please provide us a picture of your face, full name and place of work.

How about you do so first, you who would defend such vile actions.

Ah, so you do understand the danger of having your face and full name made public.
