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.

Good boss. What are you using it as? I'm guessing some homelab setup but will be interesting to know

so far using it as cd player and file writer, would've used it as a dvd player, but the video playback is not that great

CD and DVD? I’ve been 100% media server since around 2003. I wholly recommend it.
