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.

Occasionally only one of my monitors will turn on, I end up having to unplug the power cable to kick the other in to life.
I'm using Debian, with an AMD 6700 XT graphics card, dual monitors via display port. I've just ended up accepting it as one of the quirks of the Linux experience.
I'm going to try anything I can to keep her from going back to Winblows.
