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.

Joke’s on them, I don’t use bash.

Seriously though, Linux will probably get targeted more frequently now that it is becoming more popular as a desktop OS.

But you probably have Bash? In this case, #!/bin/bash still runs it.

Yeah but according to the article it installs itself in .bash_profile.

Ok, you got me, i've only read the title.

Still good to make people aware of that, i think.
