Some of you might be asking what is Linux. Well linux is a open source OS. You also might be asking what is open source. Open source is type of software or distribution method that people or company's use to share there software. Open source is free you can download the source code and modify it any way you want to.
So Linux is free, open, and one of the most awesome OS's you can pick if you want to get way form os x or windows. Bu one thing to know about Linux is there isn't just one version/type, they are distributions. Now there are may Linux distributions out there, like Ubuntu, Debian, Mandriva, Slackware, RedHat, Novell, SuSe, and like 10 others that aren't important.
I started use Linux back in I think march of 2006, I was only 10 and I installed RedHat 9 on my Compaq deskpro. I only had it installed for a week until i had my dad nuke the drive and reinstall windows XP. And later that year I installed SuSe Linux 10 on the same computer.
As of right now I am running Ubuntu on my eeepc witch i am writing on right now, also I duel booted Ubuntu and os x on my Intel mac mini, last I am trying to make a web/file sever on a Packard Bell 955, not going so well keep getting kernel panics because of some sort of driver... whatever.
Ok here is my history of linux.
