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.

Dont forget to play around with grub while its like this. Tab completion works great, try '(' the press tab to maybe see your disks as grub sees them. I think help lists commands and most of them are harmless.

Sounds like you'd love configuring network hardware then! You can get a peek into that in Linux with frr since it has a mode to configure your linux machine like you've just SSHed into a Catalyst switch, or just hop on ebay and buy a 20 year old switch for peanuts
