00:00:02,060 --> 00:00:08,150
‫All right, so just like Windows, iOS, Mac, OS, Linux is an operating system.

2
00:00:09,180 --> 00:00:14,250
‫In fact, it just so happens to work out that it's one of the most popular platforms on the planet.

3
00:00:15,260 --> 00:00:19,130
‫Even Android is powered by the Linux operating system.

4
00:00:20,490 --> 00:00:28,740
‫So an operating system is software that manages all of the hardware resources associated with your desktop

5
00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:29,440
‫or laptop.

6
00:00:30,300 --> 00:00:36,210
‫Sort of put that simply, the operating system manages the communication between your software and your

7
00:00:36,210 --> 00:00:43,530
‫hardware so that the operating system, the OS, the software that you have wouldn't function.

8
00:00:44,590 --> 00:00:47,290
‫So Linux has zero cost of entry.

9
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,080
‫Yeah, you heard that right, it's free.

10
00:00:50,770 --> 00:00:56,560
‫So that means you can install Linux on as many computers as you like without having to pay a cent for

11
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,690
‫software or server licensing.

12
00:01:01,100 --> 00:01:08,870
‫Lennox is also distributed under an open source license, so an open source will follow these key tenants.

13
00:01:10,010 --> 00:01:13,250
‫The freedom to run the program for any purpose.

14
00:01:14,930 --> 00:01:20,780
‫The freedom to study how the program works and change it to make it do what you wish.

15
00:01:22,860 --> 00:01:27,210
‫The freedom to redistribute copies so that you can help your neighbor.

16
00:01:29,260 --> 00:01:33,670
‫The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others.
