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.

That's pretty cool. What's the battery life like on this thing?
Without ever having used it, I can say with complete confidence that it’s probably bad. It’s not an optimised consumer level device, it’s a product aimed at enthusiasts and tinkerers who want to implement Linux on a new platform and form factor.
