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.

You also say the quiet part for capitalisms deaths? Or do just go with the flow. Millions of people die from hunger, not because we can't feed them, just because its not profitable to do so. Same with vaccines, no profit from saving people so let them die. Its the most selfish system. At least the communists didn't starve people on purpose.
