Linux is a UNIX-like operating system built around POSIX standards. From
its inception less than five years ago, it was developed over the Internet
by a group of people who (for the most part) have never seen each other,
and now runs on an (estimated) 1,000,000 computer systems. The operating
system (and the source code for it) is free to anyone who wants it. This
is probably the largest development project ever accomplished using the
Internet.
