What is Linux?
Linux is an open source operating system that runs on a number of hardware platforms. The Linux kernel was developed mainly by Linus Torvalds while he was a student.

Linux runs on many platforms, including PCs and Macs. Linux has become an extremely popular alternative to proprietary operating systems such as Microsoft Windows.

Most Linux distributions offer a set of programs for generic PCs with special packages containing optimized kernels for the x86 Intel based CPUs. These distributions are well-tested and maintained on a regular basis, focusing on reliant server implementation and easy installation and update procedures. Examles are RedHat, SuSE and Mandrake, which are by far the most popular Linux systems and generally considered easy to handle for the beginning user, while not blocking professionals from getting the most out of their Linux machines. Linux also runs decently on laptops and middle-range servers.
 

Choosing a Linux desktop distribution has become significantly easier. Today, several commercial Linux distributors such as Redhat, Suse, and Mandrake have tailored their products with easy to use desktop environments and support for most hardware.
