From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
Linux
n 1: an open-source version of the UNIX operating system
From The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003) [jargon]:
Linux
/lee'nuhks/, /li?nuks/, not, /li:?nuhks/, n.
The free Unix workalike created by Linus Torvalds and friends starting
about 1991. The pronunciation /li'nuhks/ is preferred because the name
?Linus? has an /ee/ sound in Swedish (Linus's family is part of Finland's
6% ethnic-Swedish minority) and Linus considers English short /i/ to be
closer to /ee/ than English long /i:/. This may be the most remarkable
hacker project in history ? an entire clone of Unix for 386, 486 and
Pentium micros, distributed for free with sources over the net (ports to
Alpha and Sparc and many other machines are also in use).
Linux is what {GNU} aimed to be, and it relies on the GNU toolset. But the
Free Software Foundation didn't produce the kernel to go with that toolset
until 1999, which was too late. Other, similar efforts like FreeBSD and
NetBSD have been technically successful but never caught fire the way Linux
has; as this is written in 2003, Linux has effectively swallowed all
proprietary Unixes except Solaris and is seriously challenging Microsoft.
It has already captured 41% of the Internet-server market and over 25% of
general business servers.
An earlier version of this entry opined ?The secret of Linux's success
seems to be that Linus worked much harder early on to keep the development
process open and recruit other hackers, creating a snowball effect.? Truer
than we knew. See {bazaar}.
(Some people object that the name ?Linux? should be used to refer only to
the kernel, not the entire operating system. This claim is a proxy for an
underlying territorial dispute; people who insist on the term GNU/Linux
want the {FSF} to get most of the credit for Linux because RMS and friends
wrote many of its user-level tools. Neither this theory nor the term GNU/
Linux has gained more than minority acceptance).
