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.

The screen is measured diagonally.
The screen width won't be 13 inches.
Not the screen width. The laptop width. The total space I have to work with is exactly 11 inches wide.
(I didn't have a ruler, so I used a 3-hole punch, which has the zero point in the center, and spreads out 5½ inches in each direction, resulting in a total width of 11 inches.)
The laptop won't be 13.3 inches either.
Wait, now I get what you're saying.
What do you mean the laptop won't have a 13.3" screen? The page I linked to said it does. And if the screen is 13.3", then the total laptop width will be more than that.
