Definition the LINUX?????
Linux is a UNIX-based operating system that can run on a variety of hardware, especially on Intel x86-based PCs. Said to be based on UNIX because Linux is developed by the standards of Unix and the same ability with UNIX. It means that Linux has the ability both as a server or workstation like UNIX.
At first it would run only on Intel x86 platforms including AMD Cyrix and others. But along with the growing number of Linux users and developers so now Linux has been running well on MacIntosh (Motorola), Sun Sparc, DEC Alpha, Amiga, StrongARM and much more.
Linux development is strongly supported by the license used by Linux is the GNU General Public License (GNU GPL). In brief, the GNU General Public License allows an application (including the operating system) to be freely used and distributed where users / beneficiaries are entitled to receive a code origin software (source code) of the application and all rights are allowed by the original author.
The application can be modified and used in other applications where the license of the application changes / new fixed on the GNU GPL. The original author is only responsible for the original code and is not responsible for the implications of the changes made on the application. Dissemination of applications that have been revamped still include the original author, the original code, the code changes are added and others responsible for these changes.
With the GPL does not mean not allow commercial, not least the cost can be drawn from the distribution medium coffee costs. Services such as technical support services to a commercial product.
