What is Linux
Linux is a kernel at the same time (or core) and the operating system that runs over it, depending on the context in which you find the reference. The Linux kernel was created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds, then a Finnish student, and today is maintained by a worldwide community of developers (which includes individual programmers and companies such as IBM, HP and Hitachi), coordinated by the same Linus, now a Developer recognized worldwide.
Linux uses the GPL, a free license - which means, among other things, that all stakeholders can use it and redistribute it. Allied with several other free software, such as KDE, GNOME, Apache, Firefox, the software of the GNU system and OpenOffice.org, Linux can form a modern, secure and stable environment for desktops, servers and embedded systems.
