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.

One really cool thing that you can do with the recovery partition is to reinstall but keep everything in your home directory intact. I think it's called refresh installation. Very handy to recover from a bad situation without much hassle. Imo more distros should have a recovery partition.
Ok I think it's time to create the recovery partition (I didn't create it during the installation)
