What is Linux?

DSL Linux Resources http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/

Linux is an operating system, a large piece of software that manages a computer. It is similar to Microsoft Windows, but it is entirely free. The accurate name is GNU/Linux but "Linux" is used more often. You shouldn't assume however, that Linux is a clone of Windows. GNU/Linux is no harder to use than Windows, and has many more capabilities. It just takes a dozen minutes to get familiar with a distribution like Ubuntu or DSL, which come with many programs installed. If you need commercial-quality software to work with business documents, Internet/networking, or multimedia and graphics, it's there right out of the box. There are many hundreds of free, high quality applications you can find, install and uninstall neatly and easily. When you get a distribution of GNU/Linux, you also get the freedom to study, copy, change, and redistribute it – that's what makes it truly free software.
