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.

i used mine to build an everything server and i kept cannibalizing parts from other "dead" systems from e-waste collection dumpsters intended for landfill to keep it running for many years until it died recently.
it's amazing what people throw away sometimes; i once got a macbook air from one and ran fedora on it for many years as well.
