Linux Intro

Linux is a generic term referring to Unix-like computer operating systems based on the Linux kernel.
Linux can be installed on a wide variety of computer hardware, ranging
- from embedded devices such as mobile phones, smartphones
- to mainframes and supercomputers.
Linux is predominantly known for its use in servers; in 2007 Linux's overall share of the server market was estimated at 12.7%, while a 2008 estimate suggested that 60% of all web servers ran Linux.
Several operating systems on mobile devices are based on a Linux Kernel:
- Android
- Limo
- (Moblin + Maemo) → MeeGO
- Openmoko
- Bada
- Web OS
- Tizen
- Ubuntu Mobile
The primary difference between Linux and many other popular operating systems is that the Linux kernel and other components are free and open source software.
