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.

Which service do you recommend?
I use NZBGeek as my indexer and Frugal as my newsserver. Have been happy so far.
So there's a map somewhere online about which backbones there are, usually I try one server for a year and maybe get a block from another server depending if it's on a different backbone and their black Friday deals.
I currently am using eweka as the service and for indexers I'm on drunkenslug and nzbgeek
