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.

A nerd who was benchmarking their ssh connection saved it...I love everything about that fello
Also, the man has said repeatedly on hackernews that he's a postgresql developer working at microsoft. I imagine that distinction is important.
And if he was a postgresql dev working on linux but employed by the cheesecake factory it would mean that the cheesecake factory saved linux? or was that rather due to that clever dev, and helped by the platform he worked on?
but if cheesecake factory hired him and supported him to make this discovery, you would look at the menu differently.
WTF is this whole thread?
Neeeeeeeeerrrrds
