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.

oh yea? I'm wondering if the program I already have will work. ever heard of a program called Macrium reflect? I installed it and never used it lol. adventure time
I've only heard recommendations for Macrium Reflect, but I've never used it myself. Never heard anything bad about it either, should be good if it's what you are most comfortable with.
