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.

Some people are very braindead you know
I don't know, it sounds a bit Linux circle-jerky to me but then again a lot of people are indeed very clueless, true!
I wouldn't say braindead. They just don't care (because all they need a computer for is to read emails and use a text processor) or haven't had the time to learn yet (every known fact must be learned for a first time at some point in your life, which means there is a time in your life where you don't have that knowledge yet (ie. the time before you acquired that knowledge)).
