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.

You know... I know how to take care of my stuff, without making Apple or anyone else rich. ;-)
Doesn't help with check-in luggage
Well, don't put anything in your luggage that you can't afford to loose. People strangely enough still traveled before any kind of tags (besides those in paper and plastic, put on the luggage). :-)
That's very unhelpful. Sometimes traveling is not optional and you can't take everything in the cabin.
People also used to travel on wooden boats with a fair chance to never reach the destination alive. How does that help anyone?
Right, what about in the case of something like luggage that was checked onto a flight and lost. Wondering about this scenario, which has happened twice.
If don't trust the airline, don't put something in your luggage you can't afford to loose. Take responsibility for the things you have, and if you need it, get an insurance for your luggage.
