Linux is an operating system: a series of programs that let you interact with your computer and run other programs.

An operating system consists of various fundamental programs which are needed by your computer so that it can communicate and receive instructions from users; read and write data to hard disks, tapes, and printers; control the use of memory; and run other software. The most important part of an operating system is the kernel. In a GNU/Linux system, Linux is the kernel component. The rest of the system consists of other programs, many of which were written by or for the GNU Project. Because the Linux kernel alone does not form a working operating system, we prefer to use the term <quote>GNU/Linux</quote> to refer to systems that many people casually refer to as <quote>Linux</quote>.

Ein Betriebssystem besteht aus verschiedenen fundamentalen Programmen zur Steuerung der Computerhardware. Der wichtigste Teil ist dabei der Kernel, in GNU/Linux-Systemen ist dies eben Linux. Der Rest des Systems besteht aus verschiedenen anderen Programmen von und für das GNU Projekt. Da der Linuxkernel alleine kein funktionierendes Betriebssystem darstellt, benutzen wir den Ausdruck <quote>GNU/Linux</quote> zur Bezeichnung dessen, was viele Leute unter <quote>Linux</quote> verstehen.

Linux is modelled on the Unix operating system. From the start, Linux was designed to be a multi-tasking, multi-user system. These facts are enough to make Linux different from other well-known operating systems. However, Linux is even more different than you might imagine. In contrast to other operating systems, nobody owns Linux. Much of its development is done by unpaid volunteers.

Linux wurde unter dem Unix-Betriebssystem entwickelt. Von Anfang an war es als multitaskingfähiges Mehrbenutzersystem ausgelegt. Weiterhin und im Gegensatz zu anderen, bekannten Betriebssystemen ist Linux freie Software, es gehört niemandem. Ein großer Teil der Entwicklung geschieht durch Freiwillige.

Development of what later became GNU/Linux began in 1984, when the <ulink url="&url-fsf;">Free Software Foundation</ulink> began development of a free Unix-like operating system called GNU.

The <ulink url="&url-gnu;">GNU Project</ulink> has developed a comprehensive set of free software tools for use with Unix™ and Unix-like operating systems such as Linux. These tools enable users to perform tasks ranging from the mundane (such as copying or removing files from the system) to the arcane (such as writing and compiling programs or doing sophisticated editing in a variety of document formats).

While many groups and individuals have contributed to Linux, the largest single contributor is still the Free Software Foundation, which created not only most of the tools used in Linux, but also the philosophy and the community that made Linux possible.

Obwohl viele Privatpersonen und Organisationen an Linux mitarbeiten, ist der größte Unterstützer immer noch die Free Software Foundation, welche nicht nur die meißten der in Linux benutzten Programme, sondern auch die Philosophie und die Gemeinschaft gefördert und entwickelt hat.

The <ulink url="&url-kernel-org;">Linux kernel</ulink> first appeared in 1991, when a Finnish computing science student named Linus Torvalds announced an early version of a replacement kernel for Minix to the Usenet newsgroup <userinput>comp.os.minix</userinput>. See Linux International's <ulink url="&url-linux-history;">Linux History Page</ulink>.

Linus Torvalds continues to coordinate the work of several hundred developers with the help of a few trusty deputies. An excellent weekly summary of discussions on the <userinput>linux-kernel</userinput> mailing list is <ulink url="&url-kernel-traffic;">Kernel Traffic</ulink>. More information about the <userinput>linux-kernel</userinput> mailing list can be found on the <ulink url="&url-linux-kernel-list-faq;">linux-kernel mailing list FAQ</ulink>.

Linux users have immense freedom of choice in their software. For example, Linux users can choose from a dozen different command line shells and several graphical desktops. This selection is often bewildering to users of other operating systems, who are not used to thinking of the command line or desktop as something that they can change.

Linuxnutzer haben eine große Freiheit in der Auswahl ihrer Software. Sie können z.B. zwischen mehreren Konsolen und einigen graphischen Benutzeroberflächen wählen. Dies ist oftmals verwirrend für die Benutzer anderer Betriebssysteme, da sie die Konsole und Benutzeroberfläche nicht als etwas auffassen, das sie wechseln können.
