From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No; your appropriation of the ~~revolution~~ weird-linux-install-murder-plot has convinced me that you are a cop and I must now flee underground.

I've been had! Welp, the cat's already outta the bag now, so might as well tell ya the truth; I'm actually a serial-killer-cop... aka, a cop. You can run, but you'll never be able to hide!

Edit: huffing, puffing, wheezing ...ok, maybe you can actually just run a bit, no hiding necessary. I'm going on another break; I need to catch my breath
