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 thought hacking "originally" just meant figuring things out? ....like short for hacking away at figuring out how to do things.
Why did you quote "originally" when you're using it in a completely different context?
No, not in the context of computer hacking. if that was the definition then there'd be no difference between a "hacker" & a programmer who builds consumer applications. Finding solutions to a problem is just every programmer ever.
I used quotes because I wasn't sure if that was the real original use. (Also because I don't pay attention to or know proper grammar rules).
Ah, ok. It's just that it reads like you're quoting me.
