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.

Perfect Christmas gift idea
Sysadmin job be like
I've got a few old PCI cards around somewhere. I should pull one of them out and give them a try at this.
If this metal thingy is anything like the one used as dust covers inside PC cases it'll just bend (I've actually tried to use one as a bottle opener).
Works well for cans, though, in my experience.
For a while I had a fiber SFP that was amazing at opening cans, too.
