While the windows and mac operating systems continue to battle in the spotlight, another eminent os sits on the sidelines. This contender, which is less renowned than the other two, is often revered by a population of computer nerds for being special in its own right. Linux is its name, and it is the os that the computer my uncle and I built runs on. I've used windows all of my life, mainly since it is probably the cheapest and most practical for everyday life. And so, linux is a big change, although I still use windows just as much as the next guy. The relatively popular, open source version of linux that I use is similar to the other operating systems through its home interface. An included bag of applications allow me to open folders, create documents, click on icons, etc. This stuff is easy. But what I really want to learn is to understand linux in more detail. For example, linux incorporates a unix shell console as an application, in which the user can control many details without the need of a mouse.
