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.

I'll wait for retail if ever. I learnt my lesson about backing tech based kickstarters.

I'm still waiting on my Soundband headphones.

I enjoyed my Ouya back in the day.

I actually still have mine somewhere. I didn't use it much, though.

Mine's around somewhere, too. I didn't do a lot of gaming on it, but it was a very solid media streaming box for the time.
