What is Linux?

Linux is an operating system kernel that resembles the UNIX operating system. The kernel is the main software required for free operating systems such as Kubuntu. Linux has become a leading element of the worldwide movement to embrace free and open source software. The term "GNU/Linux" is another way of referring to the Linux kernel; it was created by the Free Software Foundation, because the Linux kernel was created with many components from the GNU Project.
