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.

Maxed out is 2300€, which is actually a great deal for what you would get. And since you don’t have to choose now without being able to upgrade later, the sub 1000 entry price makes this a really amazing machine. I’ve been looking for a PC to run alongside my MacBook, but as we all know finding the perfect Linux laptop can be difficult.
