One-page Intro to Linux

We build Linux systems, I use Linux some myself, and I talk (sometimes kind of advanced-ly) on this blog about it quite a bit.

For those who are not familiar - and I know there are a lot of you - this is the nicest, most concise article I've seen to lay it all out for you. Right down to the penguin mascot!

And for those who are familiar, this is a good resource to bookmark, so you can refer your "uninitiated" friends to the world of Linux (without getting too geeky and intimidating about it).

Foxtrot's fave Linux version right now is Ubuntu. It's free to download and try, the setup is simple (no real techie jargon questions to install), and the device support is unrivaled among Linux distros. I'm not sure how they do it, but just about every time I've loaded Linux it has found all my devices and made them work without any interference from me.
