Linux Workshop

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel. Just like Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Mac OS X, Linux is an operating system. An operating system is software that manages all of the hardware resources associated with your desktop or laptop. From smartphones to cars, supercomputers and home appliances, the Linux operating system is everywhere.
