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.

"In a local setup, I was able to saturate a 200G link with a single CPU core, and at netdev conf 0x19 earlier this month, Jamal reported 188Gbit of bandwidth using a single core (no HT, including soft-irq). Safe to say the efficiency is there, as bigger links would be needed to find the per-core limit, and it's considerably more efficient and faster than the existing devmem solution."
