Linux is an open source, UNIX-like operating system that runs on a variety of hardware platforms and is distributed free or at low cost. Unlike proprietary operating systems, Linux is publicly open and extendible by contributors. Linux's kernel (the central part of the operating system) was developed by Linus Torvalds. Linux is also distributed commercially by a number of companies.
