Summary:

Linux, a UNIX-compatible operating system that runs on personal computers, is a pinnacle within the free software movement. It is based on a kernel developed by Finnish student Linus Torvalds and is distributed on the Net or on low-cost disks, along with a complete set of UNIX libraries, popular free software utilities, and traditional layered products like NFS and the X Window System. Part of Linux's appeal is the unstructured and far-flung manner in which it grew. Even its documentation - from installation instructions through manual pages and full-length guides - is the product of a volunteer effort, the Linux Documentation Project. Networking is a fundamental part of Linux. Sooner or later you are going to want to send someone a file, read Usenet news, or search the World Wide Web. Whether you want a simple UUCP connection or a full LAN with NFS and NIS, you are going to have to build a network.
