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.

This should be a universal decisions. A foreign company should not have been allowed to siphon tax money for decades on a global scale. Especially considering a government funding is otherwise used in research and production that benefits us all. That most of us still let this happen in our countries is the greatest modern scam. Well that, along with the consumer computer windows tax, what happened with directx misinformation campaign, IE, etc. How governments didn’t distance themselves from microsoft already is a serious question. Especially considering how so many institutes are now stuck with proprietary windows XP exclusive software and unable to update. The security risk is absurd.
