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.

Quick tip for the author and those reading, instead of doing as in the article noted e.g.
sudo nanoor the like, you can usesudoedit(orsudo -e). The advantage of this is that it will use whatever you have configured as an editor (through$SUDO_EDITOR,$VISUALor$EDITOR), and will use your configuration files while editing instead of root's, meaning if you have a sick custom neovim or emacs setup you don't have to keep those settings files in sync with the root account. ;)More than that, your editor doesn't run with root permissions, which reduces the risk of accidentally overwriting something you didn't mean to.
Almost 6 years using Linux exclusively, and I had no idea this existed. You just messed me up bad. I'm going to have so much fun with this.
Thank you so much.
Holy moly
I use it at work with many servers like
EDITOR=vim sudo -e /etc/samba/smb.confHowever useful when you need some color highlighting or just numers then add it to
.vimrcandEDITOR=vimin Bash config.Oh wow, this is amazing info. Thanks!
