Here goes a small para on Linux; (a) Linux is an ' Operating System' (OS) that is non-propreitary and falls under the Open Source category(OSS).
Corrections: Linux is a kernel. GNU is the operating system. GNU/Linux is an operating system. It falls under the Free software category, additionally it is also Open Source. This has spawned a variety of versions Corrections : Distributions is a better word to use than Versions. (c) It was originall y conceptualised by Mr Linus Travos Corrections: Written, and continues to be maintained, instead of just conceptualised. Torvalds is correct, not Travos. ...KRS _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
