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.

@DigDoug @sparkle_matrix_x0x I have differing partition schemes on different machines depending upon their function. On my workstation I have four partitions, a root partition which is on SSD and all the system binaries and files reside there, a /home partition which is on rotary media because speed is less critical space more so, and a backup drive which keeps compressed copies of the /home and /root partitions. On my servers mostly everything is RAID and it's much more complex and varies according to the function of a particular server.
