Linux

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.

I recently found cmus and have really taken a liking to it - mostly because it's really lightweight, and I love the novelty of my music player running in the terminal.

Oh and I get to do really cute, useless things nextt it

But I'll have to give Aqloss a try :)

I misread the name at first and got confused.
