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.

Hey this has nothing to do with OS/2. Seems kinda shady to embed the name of another known operating system into your own name?
It's a version name? The name of their OS is Vanilla OS and it's the second version.
What? Vanilla os. Is very different than just OS2. Also OS 2 is how old now? I doubt many people even make that coorelation
Heh I figured as much, it was just on my mind because I saw an article yesterday that the OS/2 archive is being shut down soon. It was one of my first attempts to escape Windows but it never quite made the cut.
