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 did not hear about that yet and a quick DDgo didn’t gave me results.. Where did you hear that, or do you know more? Call me interested 😇

I honestly don't quite remember. I heard it from someone who was doing government work at the time. I think it had to do with security issues with rancher.

I guess that is old news.. There has happened a lot since then, I guess.
