From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

In any case, RSS should be enough.
I still don't think I understand the full utility of RSS. I guess it's good for forum communication too?
Because my first thought was "RSS is cool but first we need human-written content and blogs to come back."
RSS to know when there's a new post on the blog.
"640k should be enough for anybody"
