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.

Generally, we don't. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to mess with it. Two times I had to use restorecon, and two times I had to loosen permissions for an HTTP server. Literally everything else has worked without issue.
I know some people love to bitch and moan about it, but honestly I have to ask what they're doing, because I've had zero non-trivial problems.
