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.

I think there’s a lot of user interface hurdles between now and The Year Of The Linux Facetop. And a lot of very tight hardware design. And a need for someone to point a lot of devs in the same direction, and make them give a shit about how well stuff works for a non-technical user. And a source of funding for all of this.
