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.

"Who has power to destroy something, is the one who holds true control over it." Or something, I never conquered a planet. Thank you Paul Atreides, very cool.
That is a nice way of measuring control over your own devices and systems, though.
I can't find it at the moment, but a few weeks ago I made a comment that I didn't really care for the paddle shifters in our car (it's an automatic, but you can switch to "manual mode" and shift it manually), because I know it's not going to let me do something stupid, whereas a stick shift will usually let me do stupid things that can damage the engine. That's partially what prompted the measuring power as ability to screw things up comment. :)
