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.

This was the distro that introduced me to linux, followed by raspbian. Brings so much memories.

Heck, Gimp still looks like it's the early 2000s.

Wouldn't it make more sense to link to the project itself, instead a low res screenshot?

I wonder if they keep the name.
