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.

Ceph. I have some Raspberry Pi's that I'm going to set up a cluster with. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. I half expect the performance to be relatively terrible, but maybe it won't and I can try to build something on top of the cluster in a sort of hyper converged setup.
It's completely overkill for a small home lab but that's what makes it fun.
