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.

Google is helpful when you have questions π
It seems that you need to read up on the basics of Linux if you don't know what a bash script is.
Asking others for help is also useful when you have questions. π
Yeah, if you feel like waiting for an answer when you could easily do it yourself in two seconds.
Haha, what's it like living in 2012 still?
You just suck at searching for stuff apparently.
Astounding, apparently you can counter the findings of this paper which proves beyond reasonable doubt that google is progressively getting worse when it comes to returning reliable and accurate search engine results.

I'm sure the scientific community would be really glad to see the evidence you have to the contrary, I'll even peer review your paper for you, let me know when you have a draft ready.
Just because it's becoming less useful doesn't mean it's useless. I search for stuff every day and can find the answer I'm looking for in under a few minutes.
You know what? That is actually some sound reasoning and I think that is an acceptable response.
I intended my original comment to be more a a shot at google than yourself, but I can see why you came back with what you said as a result, and then I got salty about it so I apologize.
Apology accepted π
Google gets a lot of hate, and they, as a company and as a search engine have gotten worse over the years, but they still do a lot of stuff right. I never took it personally, just giving an example.
