Technology Never Ends.

Linux is the designated name of the language of computer operating system developed by Unix.Linux is an example of the development of free software or open source generally hear. Like other open-source, Linux’s source code can be modified, use and distribution of freedom of any person.
The name “Linux” from the Linux kernel (kernel name), which is in 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Tools and libraries from the GNU operating system, Linux systems are usually, it is announced in 1983.

Linux has long been know to use server, and get companies such as Dell’s leading computer, Hewlett-Packard, IBM Corporation, Novell, Oracle, Red Hat Inc. and Sun Microsystems. Linux as an operating system, different types of computer hardware, including desktop computers, supercomputers and embedded systems, such as e-book reader, video game systems (the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 and Xbox), mobile phones and routers. Analysts believe that the success of information technology, Linux, because Linux is not dependent on suppliers (suppliers of independence), low operating costs and increase the compatibility than the paid versions of UNIX, as well as the safety factor and the high sex ratio of other operating systems , such as Microsoft Windows. These features also can be used as evidence in the interests of the development model, open source software (open source software).

Linux operating system, known as the Linux distribution version of Linux (Linux distribution) typically includes device support software, such as Web servers, programming languages, databases, desktop monitors (desktop environment) (such as Gnome and KDE), office applications package (office suite ) If OpenOffice.org, the KOffice, Abiword, and those gnumeric’s.

Most of the code (71%) is to use C programming language, but are also involved in many other languages such as C + +, assembly language, Perl, Python, and Fortran languages, and various other scripting languages. More than half of all the code under the GPL license. Linux kernel itself consists of 2.4 million lines of code, or about 8% of the total. [37]

Other studies have a similar analysis, the distribution of Debian GNU / Linux 4.0 version.Distribution, including more than 283 million lines of code, and study for the development of estimated cost of 5.4 billion euros, if developed into a closed software.

In the United States, Linux is a trademark (No.: 1.91623 million) is owned by Linus Torvalds.Linux, registered as a “computer operating system, the use of computer programs and actions.”This is a trade mark registration, place a forger named William • De La Cross began to send letters to its small Linux and the Linux distributors are entitled to expect their property, and asked to pay certain royalties 10%, where. Linux distributors began promoting the mark to Linus Torvalds, the original. Linux trademark license under the supervision of, the current Linux Mark Institute.

There are many Linux distributions (often referred to as distribution) by individuals, groups or other agencies. Each program includes systems and other applications, in addition to including a program, the entire system is installed on your computer (install program).

The core of each issue is a Linux kernel, a collection from the GNU project (or other items), Shell (shell), and utility management, such as libraries (library), compiler and editor (editor).Most systems also include non-utilitarian GNU-regulation. However, these tools can be separated and Unix-style systems are still available. Some examples are practical BSD and graphics system – X (Under X – Window system). X provides a graphical user interface (GUI) is a common Linux operating system.
