Linux operating system for the Enterprise


Linux is a Unix-type cross-platform operating system originally created by Linus Torvalds with help from other developers around the world. Linux and many applications developed to run on it are developed under the GNU General Public License and the source code is freely available to everyone. This enables anyone to modify and improve them. While you can obtain Linux for free, you may choose to purchase it from a vendor who will also provide service and support.
