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 love that Linux allows us to do this, but why
As a new Linux user at the time. I hated the look of Ubuntu 09.04 - 10.10 compared to Windows, but the netbook couldn't run Windows for the life of it. I swapped back a more normal desktop around 11.04

It's a shame this is such an old screenshot. I wanted to ask about specifics!!
