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.

Start experimenting and break stuff. Set up some good backups and snapshots, learn how to use those well so you aren't completely screwed when something is unrecoverable, and then go to town on all the experimental software you read about but haven't tried. Breaking stuff will quickly make you proficient at the command line, and help you to understand how things work underneath your GUI.

And have fun!
