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.

After configuration...can you start browsing right away? I thought you had to wait several hours or more before you could actually use it.
You can start as soon as the pipes ore built which is around 15 mins or less but for the network to be quicker it can take a few hours as you say.
good to know. Can I keep something permanently connected..or is that a bad idea?
