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.

Yup, don't. People already covered why. I will add that I tried learning dvorak for quite a while and it didn't stick until I went cold turkey. It was very frustrating hunting and pecking for a couple days, but I made pretty quick progress. IIRC I was back up to 20-30 wpm after a week which was "usable" at least, and back to 60-70 wpm after a month. I had regular wrist pain before switching, and it was basically gone after. I don't think it helped my typing speed. Like I can do 90 in bursts for a bit longer, but generally I "cruise" much slower than that. ;)
