  Linux kernel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Developed under the GNU General Public License, the source code for Linux is free software.
The fact that Linux is not a microkernel was the topic of a famous flame war between Linus Torvalds and Andy Tanenbaum on comp.os.minix in 1992.
The Linux kernel is written in the version of the C programming language supported by the GNU GCC compiler (which supports a superset of standard C), together with relatively short sections of code written in the assembly language of the target architecture (and at last count Linux supported about 20 different processor families).

 Linux kernel - Linpedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
In computing, the Linux kernel is a free Unix-like operating system kernel created by Linus Torvalds in 1991 and subsequently improved with the assistance of developers around the world.
All Linux releases with an even minor version number (the second component) are part of a stable series: 1.0.x, 1.2.x, 2.0.x, 2.2.x, 2.4.x and the current 2.6.x; releases with an odd minor version number, such as the 2.5.x series, are development versions not intended for production use.
While not originally intended as a portable operating system, Linux is now one of the most widely ported operating system kernels (although NetBSD has been ported to almost as many architectures), running on a diverse range of systems from the iPAQ (a handheld computer) to the IBM S/390 (a massive, hugely expensive mainframe).

 Linux   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The history of Linux is closely tied to that of GNU, a prominent free-software project led by Richard Stallman.
However, argued advantages of Linux, such as lower cost, fewer security vulnerabilities, and lack of vendor lock-in have spurred a growing number of high-profile cases of mass adoption of Linux by corporations and governments for specific purposes.
Linux and other free software projects are frequently criticised for not going far enough in terms of ensuring usability, and the question of Linux's usability compared to Windows or the Macintosh remains hotly debated.

Initially developed and used mostly by individual enthusiasts, Linux has since gained the support of industry heavyweights such as IBM and Hewlett-Packard, and is overtaking many proprietary versions of Unix.
Linux is the cornerstone of the so-called LAMP server-software combination (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python) that has achieved widespread popularity among Web developers, making it one of the most common platforms on the Web.
Linux is increasingly common as an operating system for supercomputers, most recently on 64-bit AMD Opterons in the Cray XD1.

 Linux Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The term ''Linux'' strictly refers to the Linux kernel, but is commonly used to describe entire Unix-like operating systems (GNU/Linux naming controversyalso known as '''GNU/Linux''') that are based on the Linux kernel combined with libraries and tools from the GNU project.
The Linux kernel and operating system are licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) which requires that all source code modifications and deriviative works also be licensed under the GPL, which is generally referred to as a "share and share-alike" license.

 Linux (Linux Reviews)
Linux was originally developed for Intel 386 microprocessors and now supports all popular computer architectures (and several obscure ones).
Linux started out as a terminal emulator written in IA-32 assembler and C which was compiled into binary form and booted from a floppy disk so that it would run outside of any operating system.
Linux and other free software projects have been frequently criticized for not going far enough in terms of ensuring usability, and Linux is generally considered to be more difficult to use than Windows or the Macintosh, although it is steadily improving.

BSDI announces the ability to run Linux binaries, giving users of Linux applications "a reliable, commercially supported operating system to run them on." The implication, of course, is that such a platform had not previously been available.

 Why Open Source Software / Free Software (OSS/FS, FOSS, or FLOSS)? Look at the Numbers!
Their Embedded Systems Developer Survey, fielded in July 2002, asked developers “For each of the following operating systems, please indicate whether you are targeting the OS on your current project or your next project.” They collected data from 444 developers.
Linux system performance was not degraded during the long duration of the run, the Linux kernel properly scaled to use hardware resources (CPU, memory, disk) on SMP systems, the Linux system handled continuous full CPU load (over 99%) and high memory stress well, and the Linux system handled overloaded circumstances correctly.
The Linux kernel primarily used as the kernel of a general-purpose operating system; it would be reasonable to expect that the embedded operating systems would have better reliability because of the need for reliability in that market.

 porting: Content
For the last year and a half all engineering work focusing on a native Mac OS X OpenOffice.org version has been concentrated in the NeoOffice/J project, using a combination of Java and Carbon technologies to replace X11.
Due to various licensing, political, and fundamental engineering difficulties it is likely, for the near future, that native Aqua porting work will be based off of the NeoOffice.org project and not under the direct aegis of OpenOffice.org.
Regardless of the progress on native porting (or lack thereof), continued X11 development is crucial for the ongoing viability of OpenOffice.org on Mac OS X. There are a number of critical factors that make X11 more relevant then native porting:
