Things you should know before installing LINUX
What is LINUX?
Linux is an Operating System or Kernel which is created by Linus Torvalds. The reason behind Linux existence is that Linus used to work on UNIX system when he was in college but he thought that UNIX need some changes to make it easier, However his suggestion where rejected by the designer of UNIX. Later on he thought of creating one Operating system which will be receptive to changes, modifications suggested by its user. Thats how LINUX came into existence.
LINUX is mainly used to design their own custom Operating System. Linux is the backbone of many popular operating system like DEBIAN, UBUNTU, FEDORA etc.
