‫All right, so just like Windows, iOS, Mac, OS, Linux is an operating system.
‫In fact, it just so happens to work out that it's one of the most popular platforms on the planet.
‫Even Android is powered by the Linux operating system.
‫So an operating system is software that manages all of the hardware resources associated with your desktop
‫or laptop.
‫Sort of put that simply, the operating system manages the communication between your software and your
‫hardware so that the operating system, the OS, the software that you have wouldn't function.
‫So Linux has zero cost of entry.
‫Yeah, you heard that right, it's free.
‫So that means you can install Linux on as many computers as you like without having to pay a cent for
‫software or server licensing.
‫Lennox is also distributed under an open source license, so an open source will follow these key tenants.
‫The freedom to run the program for any purpose.
‫The freedom to study how the program works and change it to make it do what you wish.
‫The freedom to redistribute copies so that you can help your neighbor.
‫The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others.
