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.

His goal.

A VP could have the goal to increase profits by 500% over the next 6 months but that doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

It might happen, but just because someone says it's their goal is no confirmation that it will happen.

VPs don't have total control over profits, but they do have total control over which version of coreutils is in the product they release.
