Linux

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.

There is a new Linux based tablet available for pre-order. I personally do not know Juno Computers yet - can one trust them to deliver a final product which will work quite well?

Oh, cool. I've been wanting a Linux tablet for a while now. There's also (in theory anyway) Pine64's PineTab, but it's been out of stock forever. I might pick this up instead, if the reviews are favorable.

Interesting, but why install components that don't work, ie microphone?
