Linux is a UNIX-like kernel that was created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Originally written for the i386 family of computers, it has been ported to many other architectures as well. It is available as free software and forms an essential part of the GNU/Linux operating system, which is often referred to as "Linux" by mistake. Many distributions of GNU/Linux are available which allow users to easily install a GNU/Linux system from pre-built binaries, rather than compile it all themselves. | Linux is a UNIX-like kernel that was created in 1991 by Linus Torvalds.
