Linux?
Linux is an operating system.
As an open operating system, Linux is developed collaboratively, meaning no one company is solely responsible for its development or ongoing support. Companies participating in the Linux economy share research and development costs with their partners and competitors. This spreading of development burden amongst individuals and companies has resulted in a large and efficient ecosystem and unheralded software innovation.
Windows and OSX are predominantly found on personal computing devices such as desktop and laptop computers. Other operating systems, such as Symbian, are found on small devices such as phones and PDAs, while mainframes and supercomputers found in major academic and corporate labs use specialized operating systems such as AS/400 and the Cray OS.
Linux started as a server OS and has become useful as a desktop OS and many other Device Systems.
Some of the popular electronic devices Linux is used on today includes:
Children Laptops
Dell Inspiron Mini
Garmin Nuvi
Google Android Phone
TiVo Video Recorder
Sony Bravia Television
Yamaha Motif Keyboard
These are just the most recent examples of Linux-based devices available. Linux is on a lot of crap out there, Awesome. The next questioned posed is would I use it. Well Its seems I am already am using stuff using Linux.Linux looks pretty cool. I hope I learn a lot more in my studies.
