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.

Bread on penguins definitively knows what she is doing. If you have not already, you should check her channel.

I'll totally use caligula. I might try the others if I get any free time.

I used it today after watching that video. It’s nice to not constantly double check my dd command to make sure I’m not going to write to the wrong place.
