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.

That's some shitty 'hacking'...

But what makes these shell commands 'bash' exactly? Seems like this could be a half-dozen shells.

Also.. why are 'hackers' always using a shell in some gui program?

An actual CLI would frighten the windows users watching the show.

I guess I just used bash as deonym for shell. Sry. It was late and I was tired.

Hey no worries, I dunno why I even called that out. Lack of sleep due to back pain and responding to posts at 2am I guess
