Linux is an operating system, just like Microsoft Windows - but Linux is free (explained later), very stable and ultra powerful - Google uses a Linux farm (a large network of computers) to perform its search operations, NASA uses it for flight simulations and it was used on the Space Shuttle Columbia. Now you can imagine what we are talking about.
Just what is an OS? You might be using Windows 98, Windows 2000 or Windows XP. But how do we exactly define an OS?
An Operating System (OS) is the most important program that runs on a computer. Every general-purpose computer must have an operating system to run other programs. Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers.

He’ll be taken to the Iraq borer where he’ll tackle American resistance to the Afghans with his nasal torturing voice levels. There’s no hope for the Americans.
++ Hijack more planes but with Indian air-hostesses!
Osama has a soft corner for girls. The number of wives he’s had proves it for sure. So when it comes to hijacking planes he’s not risking his Jehadis for American blondes. He’ll prefer smart, beautiful and cute looking air-hostesses. Indian (earlier Indian Airlines) is a strict no-no. He might prefer Kingfisher though. So if nothing works at least they’ll run away with those hot chicks!
