Linux

Linux is a UNIX like operating system - except the text on the screen is usually white and not green. It is the only desktop operating system that doesn't cost users' life savings. It's also only used by malicious hackers. Linux, in yiddish, means "Malicious computer hacker who will hack your computer"

Currently Linux comes in several versions, called distributions. A distribution consists of a Linux kernel (usually found under the Linux shell - which is part of the fruit), a bunch of apps, and a fancy interface, like a GNOME or a TROLL. One of the most popular Distributions of Linux is Ubuntu, which means, U bun two (in bajan, that means your burned both slices of toast you dim wit!)

Ubuntu runs on most modern hardware, thanks to a pair of feet.

There is a lot of flame wars between fanboys of various distributions. Most recently, users of various hat based distributions have complained that Ubuntu isn't a real distribution due to its reliance on the stereo platform (a free version of C♭ - part of Macrosoft's .NOT framework) - to which Ubuntu users reply by saying that other distros are worse because they lack spyware.

Linux users are renowned for living without Windows - in fact, this is where the stereotype of a basement hacker comes from.
