What is Linux? Linux is an operating system for computers, comparable to Windows or Mac OS X (and by the way Mac OS X is based on Linux). It was originally created starting in 1991 by Finnish programmer Linus Torvalds with the assistance of developers from around the world.
Linux is a free Software and also open source! Free Software means that you can download an run it on your computer for free and open source that you can also download all the source code the programmers created to build the OS or Programs and if you want and need you can modify or extend the code to your needs. (I use it as it is :)
In the beginnings Linux was not so easy to handle like today. With a new Linux distribution I´m able to do 95-98% of all that what do with Windows (2000/XP) and I´m sure there are some specialist who would be able to turn it to 100%
