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.

How's battery life? Thinking of using mostly as e-reader.
so i have't really gotten to test this hard but seems like 4ish to 6ish hrs of work.. It does get a lil warm but I have my plasma settings to change cpu gov on power events and that really helps... i think i could get more if I switched to sway or something. It suspends really well with only loosing a percent or two overnight and hibernating works.
