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.

Other way around for me - got into Linux because some comrades were saying real commies use it, I was really mad at Windows that day to begin with, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to try it out. Found out it's... sucky in different ways, but in ways that frustrate me less and where I tend to be angry at myself for screwing something up rather than angry at a corporation for being hostile to its customers, which is something I'm angry about far too often as it is.
