2. History of GNU-Linux
 In the early 90's GNU/Linux systems consisted of little more than a beta-quality Linux
kernel and a small collection of software ported from the GNU project. It was a true
hacker's operating system. There were no CD-ROM's or GUI installation tools; everything
had to be compiled and configured by the end user. Being a Linux Expert meant knowing
your system inside and out.
 Toward the middle of the decade several GNU/Linux distributions began appearing. One
of the first was Slackware in 1993 and since then there have been many others. Even
though there are many "flavors" of Linux today, the main purpose of the distribution
remains the same. The distribution automates many of the tasks involved in GNU/Linux
installation and configuration taking the burden off of the system administrator. Being a
Linux Expert now means knowing which button to click in the GUI administration tool.

4. History of GNU-Linux
 Recently there has been a yearn for a return to the "good old
days" of Linux when men were men, sysadmins were
hardcore geeks and everything was compiled from source
code. A notable indication of this movement was the
publication of the Linux-From-Scratch-HOWTO version 1.0 by
Gerard Beekmans in 1999. Being a Linux Expert once again
means knowing how to do it yourself.

5. Differences between Linux and Ubuntu
 The difference between Linux and Ubuntu is like the difference between
an engine and a vehicle.
 Linux is the name of the core component of the operating system. It is
called a kernel,which is akin to an engine. The kernel manages input,
output, memory, and processing.
 An engine is pretty useless by itself, so it's bundled with a collection of
useful parts that help you use the engine to achieve a goal. This collection
of parts makes up a vehicle. The same engine can be used in many
different models of vehicles with different parts and features.

7. Differences between Linux and Ubuntu
 Likewise, a kernel is pretty useless by itself. So it's typically bundled with a
bunch of useful utilities and interfaces. This collection of utilities and
interfaces is called a distribution. The same kernel (Linux) can be used in
many different distributions (Ubuntu, Slackware, Debian, Mint, CentOS,
etc.), each bundled with different utilities and interfaces (or unique builds
of the same utilities and interfaces).
 Ubuntu is one distribution that uses the Linux kernel, just as a Ford F350
pickup is one model of vehicle that uses a particular engine.
 Incidentally, Windows 8.1 (64-bit) and Windows Server 2012 R2 are two
different operating system distributions that use the same Windows NT
kernel.

10. Main Operative System
 There have been many operating systems that were
significant in their day but are no longer so, such
as AmigaOS; OS/2 from IBM and Microsoft; classic Mac OS,
the non-Unix precursor to Apple's Mac OS X; BeOS; XTS-
300; RISC OS; MorphOS; Haiku; BareMetal and FreeMint.
