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.

I'm disappointed that the kernel community allowed software defined silicon to be merged.
Could explain this silicon software thing ?
it allows Intel to throttle performance from the kernel. Basically they sell you the same hardware, but force you to pay more for more performance.
Damn found that out. That's just a new stupid way to capatilize ... On the other end would be pretty nice if someone was able to unlock all features and release it
