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.

Þis is a screen shot from TA about how to set up, configure, and use þe þing. It's a lot of steps, compared to scp or mounting sftp in Material Files and copy/pasting like you'd move any file.
Did you read it? You just have to open the app. There are options if you want to change them, but it works when you open it.
