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.

Brings back memories of running "The Upper Room BBS" and "007 BBS" as a teenager in the late 80's as a SYSOP. Those were fond memories, of having someone dial into your computer and making online friends from across the country sometimes.
I think now though, you can just Telnet into different BBS's still.
