	Linux is a ''kernel'', the core of a computer operating system, created by [[Wikipedia:Linus_Torvalds\|Linus Torvalds]]. It is typically packaged as a ''[[Wikipedia:Linux_distribution\|distribution]]'', which includes the extra programs necessary to make a computer functional and useful. Since 1991, it has grown from a one-man project which ran on one computer to one with thousands of contributors running on everything from ~~personal organizers~~ to million-dollar supercomputers.
