1. Fwd: what is linux all about (cecilia yuyi)

Well Cecilia Linux is all about sharing. Between Community. Of users. Sharing of code, concepts, philosophy. .
Linux is a kernel of GNU Operating System. It is also a Project & Movement.
Proprietary O.S.s & software a mostly a Product.
It sa unix clone.Programmed by Linux Torvalds & 1000s of hackers (not crackers).

It is used by enthusiasts, goverments, students, e-commerce, Internet providers, banks, industry; because of its security, stability, portability, opennes & specific development model and patent free Licencing--Copyleft (http://www.gnu.org)

The central spot of info is at:

The history is available at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux

& a specific, (somwhere outdated) documentation at:

Users login at command line or Graphical User Interface & start aplications, in multiuser, multitasking & even multiProcessor environment.

Documetation is actualy available at command line interface (man, info, faqs, howto-s,) & X Window(ing) System--Desktop Enviroments (GUI which mimic the concept & Philosophy of known Operating Systems GUIs such as Windows, AmigaOS, Apple MacOS, AtariOS.)

There are numerous Linux User Groups & Conferences, through a World where you can get LiveCD, instalable CD, phisical help, for single & multiboot (with win) install on Your desktop or notebook machine.
