linux

A very stable operating system released under the JPL. Originally a spare time project by student Linus Torvalds, Linux has developed into a popular back-end and server operating system. Linux is beginning to make inroads on the desktop.
It is frequently maligned by Windows users because Linux actually requires some degree of intelligence to use.

"That new Linux server is much better than that old WinNT-based pile of crap we used to use!"

Linja

(n) A Linux user capable of Ninja-like actions. Usually the user has several years of experience in reverse-engineering, exploitation, scripting, and/or system administration. A linja is not necessarily malicious, but is more concerned with stealth, knowledge, and the yin/yang of computer systems.

Update your Windoze system regularly with all the latest, greatest security patches, or you might get pwned by a Linja Master like r00t or Aleph One.

What Windoze users should turn to since Windows is clearly crap, evil and bastardised in every way.
Linux runs the web (80% of all servers).
Linux is the base-station of most hackers (see 'Hackers Handbook' by Dr. K, ISBN 1-85868-943-0) because it is inherently secure.

'HOLY SHIT MAN DID YOU SEE THAT?!'
'Yeah dude you fux0red up that poor dudes windoze box'
'Yeah man, linux r0x0rz!!!'
'Yeah'

Linux

The term Linux by itself refers to the kernel, not the operating system. It is based off of UNIX. The popular mobile phone operating system Android runs off of the Linux kernel. Also, OS X is based of of UNIX.

Linux is by far the best operating system for advanced users, though it is mainly up to personal preference
