| Linux | A version of the UNIX operating system that was developed mainly by Linus Torvalds in 1990. The free program has been widely distributed with open source code, which means that other programmers and developers can easily change and augment the power of the software. It is able to run on many different processor chips and platforms including PCs, Macintoshes, and Amigas. Linux is one of the few successful competitors to the widely used Windows operating system.
