“When Linux was developed, it was created to be an alternative
solution to the popular and costly Unix operating system, which ran

tried for years to accomplish. To create a reliable desktop
operating system that is unbelievably easy to use and includes a
wide array of software to accomplish any task you might have. Other
distributions have tried this but failed in their attempts by not
