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'll want to start toning your skills with Bash and other POSIX shells like AT&T ksh, zsh, and dash if you ever wish to do serious scripting for work... either that, or start learning Python. That is, unless you already have those under your belt. Apology in advance if you already do... I just couldn't understand switching to Fish after already having those skills. If you do, and you then switched to Fish, what was the benefit of that? Just curious.
