Happy Tech-Talk Thursday once again!

To celebrate our partnership with the Linux Performance Institute we are updating our Linux knowledge. In this video The Urban Penguin looks at Linux Evolution & Popular Operating Systems (OSs) – Objective 1.1 of the LPI Linux Essentials program.

What do we mean by “Open Source” software and how Linux was born. Learn about the term “Distributions” and see how we can view download data from distrowatch.com.

You will also learn that Linux is used in many devices such as android phones, TiVo boxes and may other household and business appliances. These are called embedded systems. Using a free OS is good sense it keeps the cost of the product down not having to license an OS from a commercial supplier.
