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.

I'd love to keep it clean but too many devs think $HOME is up for grabs, as long as they prepend their directory names with a dot (they think I'll never notice, but I notice, and I keep a list...)
Dafuq are you doing in other people's homes?
Sysadmins are all creeps, confirmed
Breaking pots. Don't mind me.
EDIT: holdup, who are you calling a sysadmin? I administer my system, sure, but that's about as far as I'm willing to go, thank you.
Are those the Triforce triangles perhaps?
It might be?...
Oops, I meant to say: "hayaaa"
