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.

Stuff that I insist on regardless of platform (that is, I install these even onto Windows systems if I'm forced to use them):
- Pale Moon (web browser)
- Claws Mail
- GIMP
- vbindiff (command-line hex editor + diff utility for binary files)
- mercurial
- perl
Stuff that I require only on Linux systems for desktop use:
- Pan (yes, really, I still use a Usenet newsreader on a daily basis)
- qemu
- conky
- Aqualung (music player—I like odd software)
- Inkscape
- Scribus
- PySol ;)
- rdesktop (less a favourite than a regrettable necessity)
- various TDE built-ins: konqueror (as file manager only), kedit, kate, konsole, ark
