Linux Training

What is Linux?

Linux is the most popular operating system in UNIX world. However, Linux do not denotes just a single operating system (OS) but a group of operating systems that are built around Linux Kernel such as Red Hat Linux, Debian and Ubuntu. Linux kernel which was released on 1991 by Linus Torvalds is the first Linux OS. And it gave rise to all other Linux OS. Similar to UNIX, Linux is also open source and can be used and modified by anyone. Linux was originally developed for personal computers but it was adapted to all types of computers especially Supercomputers. Almost all the supercomputers use Linux OS alone as it is the only efficient OS to handle huge workload in supercomputers. Linux is also used in space flight computers for its fault-tolerant capability, high-end graphical design systems like servers at film production for its high quality output and research laboratories around the world. Even our smartphones’ OS (Android) are based on Linux-kernel. Linux also runs on embedded systems such as Televisions, network routers, facility automation controls, video game consoles and smart watches. Due to this universal presence, Linux has the largest installed base of general purpose operating systems.
