LINUX COMMANDS BY NIRMAL FELIX
INTRODUCTION # Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system. Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free software and open source development; typically all underlying source code can be freely modified, used, and redistributed by anyone.  # The Linux kernel was first released to the public on 17 September 1991,  for the Intel x86 PC architecture. The kernel was augmented with system utilities and libraries from the GNU project to create a usable operating system, which led to  an alternative term, GNU/Linux.
