Linux

[Linux Penguin]

Linux is an operating system similar to, and vaguely compatible with, UNIX. I use it because it is free[*] and it provides a good programming environment, as well as full networking capabilities. Plus, lots of people use it, and there's lots of free software around for it. Look at the Linux home page for more information.

If you have any suggestions for new utilities or games, links to add, you want to help out, or even if you just downloaded a program of mine and got it to compile, please drop me a line.


* - "free" means, in this sense, that all of the source code is available and you can modify it and pass it on as much as you like. The only restriction is that you may not place further restrictions on what you pass on. You can read a more formal description in the GNU General Public License.
