Linux (Kernel) is a computer operating system that started from a hobby project Linus Torvalds, a student of Helsinki University, Finland. Linus terinpirasi Minix, a small UNIX system developed by Prof.. Andrew Tanenbaum of derfein University, Amsterdam
Currently Linux is a Unix system is very complete, and is used for network software development and even for daily work. Linux is an alternative operating system is now much better and better.
To operate Linux requires considerable intelligence techniques, because not as easy to operate using a more popular operating system, such as Windows, Apple Mac Computer, or OS / 2 IBM. However, because of the volunteer developers themselves will adore the quality of his hard work, Linux is becoming quite well known with the advantages of the system is efficient and rare crashes.
Various Linux Distro
Linux has developed very quickly. It could be possible Because Linux was developed by a diverse group of people. This diversity includes the level of knowledge,, experience, and geographic. So that these groups can communicate quickly and efficiently, internet mennjadi right choice, because the Linux kernel is developed with independent businesses, many applications are available, for example, C Compiler uses gee from the Free Software Foundation's GNU Project. The compiler is widely used in Hewlett Packard and Sun environments. Right now, a lot of Linux applications that can be used for office purposes such as for spreadsheets, word processor, database and graphics editor program has a function and look like Microsoft Office, the Star Office. In addition, Corel version is also available for Linux and applications like matlab on Linux known Scilab. It is available in a variety of Linux distributions (often called distros).

Linux, or more correctly GNU / Linux is an operating system that runs on most types of computers are known, including the popular PC-based Intel, which most people use and Mchintos up to large mainframes and super computers.
GNU / Linux will quickly sweep the world of computer development, ranging from individual users through small companies, large corporations as well as in the government department.
GNU / Linux is based on Open Source Software Software gratis.Keadaan source code is available for licensing for open source software allows us to see and modify the software and share the changes you've made it free to anyone.

Security system GNU / Linux system is much more resistant than the Offer and certain owned by a company.
Diversity you have the freedom to intervene and match and change the desired software with GNU / Linux.
Transparency dengna availability of source code, you can be satisfied that the program that we make as we want (Not entirely true in the windows system as an example, that Windows is keeping all the secrecy that exists in our computer).
Powered by GNU / Linux, there is no one who can violate secar perusahaanpun constantly rights and your privacy.
