LINUX TCP/IP Networking For Embedded

Systems 2E:


Author: Charles Hayes:


Linux (IPA pronunciation: /ˈlɪnʊks/) is

a Unix-like computer operating system.

Linux is one of the most prominent examples

of free software and open source development;

its underlying source code can be modified,

used, and redistributed by anyone, freely.

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 later led to the alternate term GNU/Linux.

Linux is now packaged for different uses in Linux

distributions, which contain the kernel along with

a variety of other software packages tailored to

requirements.

Predominantly known for its use in servers, Linux

has gained the support of corporations such as

IBM,Sun Microsystems,Hewlett-Packard,and Novell,

and is used as an operating system for a wide

variety of computer hardware, including desktop

computers, supercomputers, and embedded

devices such as mobile phones and routers.
