When I came into contact with linux in my sophomore year, I was infatuated with embedded linux, replaced the computer with linux system, learned the basic knowledge of linux, learned linux commands, learned shell, and soaked in forums, so that I could use the linux system to complete my daily work and study. By the time I graduated from work, I officially started android development, using the ubuntu system. Thanks to my basic knowledge of linux at school, I was also handy at work. With the growth of working time, the use of linux system has become more and more proficient, slowly found that development has been inseparable from linux, inseparable from the shell in linux, the efficiency of using shell command is too high.

Linux transformed into unix, since the arrogant god Linus Torvalds created linux, linux has been constantly changing our lives, playing a more and more indispensable role. Don't you see? the electronic billboards in the elevator, various TV boxes, our most common android phones, and even the electronic devices you don't pay attention to, may run the linux operating system.

It is precisely because linux is more and more used in a variety of embedded devices, linux-based development has always been a very popular technology. If you want to develop linux, you must first be proficient in using linux. As an experienced person, I will talk about linux with beginners who are interested in linux.

As mentioned above, linux evolved from unix. At that time, linus wanted to develop a simple system kernel because he came into contact with unix. The simple system kernel he developed was linux. At that time, linus threw the kernel of the system developed on the Internet for everyone to download. Because of its exquisite and small size, more and more enthusiasts went to study it. People add branches and leaves to this kernel, and then become a system. As you may have heard, linux is free and open source, and everyone can get its code. The free here just means that the kernel of linux is free. Distributions that produce a large number of linux based on the linux kernel are not necessarily free.

The release of Linux is simply a package of Linux kernels and applications. Well-known distributions are: Ubuntu, RedHat, CentOS, Debain, Fedora, SuSE, OpenSUSE, TurboLinux, BluePoint, RedFlag, Xterm, SlackWare and so on.
