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.

You have several long and comprehensive answers so please allow me to add an emotional one:
Fucking compile error in hour six of what you estimated to be a four hour compile job because of a mistake you made that you found within 5 seconds after the error!!
Fucking why doesn't this compilation start I can't find my mistake for hours?!
Where does this module come from?! What do you mean "root kit"? Learning was fun!
It all was fun! :)
I recently tried to compile Crossover's Wine from source. I went through many compile errors, fixed dependency issues and started over etc. In the end I think I compiled vanilla Wine imstead of Crossover (there are different source tarballs) because O365 still refused to install lol.
