Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had. -Linus Torvalds

About

These pages contain information about the Linux operating system. If you've been living in Antarctica for the past few years, you may not have heard about this wonderful OS. But then again you might have, since Linux powers some of the scientific applications in use there. Linux also powers all the machines on the Digital Hermit network -- from the web server to desktop machines to a cluster of machines running ray tracing software.
