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.

It seems Phoronix account-walled the comments section. Hmm.
Holy shit, for phoronix to actually lock the comments for once it must have been dire
Yeah it was terrible, he should have walled it earlier than he did.
I can only guess. People really act terrible sometimes.
Do you blame them for that considering the shit that's hurled at Hector and Lina?
Actually haven't seen the comments myself but I can guess at this point. Maybe he should've completely disable it for the article.
