	Linux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Linux was originally developed for Intel 386 microprocessors and now supports all popular computer architectures (and several obscure ones).
		The Linux system quickly surpassed Minix in functionality; Torvalds and other early Linux kernel developers adapted their kernel to work with the GNU components and user-space programs to create a complete, fully functional, free operating system.
		Linux and other free software projects have been frequently criticized for not going far enough in terms of ensuring usability, and Linux has been generally considered more difficult to use than Windows or the Macintosh, although it is steadily improving.
