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.

Love this! I find myself doing this a lot as well but usually just searching for pages like yours.
Small feedback, I think it may be useful to have a full recap of the commands listed again at the end so they aren't scattered throughout the page only but otherwise I think this was a great read!
Mmmpf, tar czf archive.tar.xz directory is Just Wrong to me. The "z" means gzip! Use "J" if you meant to use xz compression!
Or use tar caf to have it autodetect the type based on the filename.
