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 cannot imagine how difficult and rewarding the work doing this must be. I wish I was a good enough programmer to get involved.
I feel like I'm a decent programmer but stuff like this just feels like magic to me. Huge respect to the people who work on this kind of stuff.
Betcha the docs suck and you can make them better.
Actually they’ve been cleaned a bit recently. More hands the better though
