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.

@shreddy_scientist Sad I missed the vote, but I saw that result coming from a mile away. Juliette Taka won 8, 9, and 11, and had her submission for 10 included with the release as an alternative (which IMO should have won the vote). She just doesn't have any competition when it comes to Debian-themed wallpapers.
Apparently there wasn't even a vote this time, they just went with her design.
@VanchoPilla Yeah, I checked the mailing list and it was because nobody was available to run a contest. I realized that and edited my post but I don't think the edit federated through
