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.

Okay, I've been seeing quite a lot of articles regarding internet TV. Can I get one for setting up local TV with a USB tuner using my old rooftop antenna instead?

This does that Tvheadend is tuner/dvr software. I use nextpvr on my windows box and I used to use mythtv on my Linux box. If you want alternatives
