From the publisher
The Linux Operating System is 20 years old. This podcast series, presented by the Senior Lecturer in Computing at The Open University, Blaine Price, tells the story of an extraordinary operating system that in two short decades has grown from a students’ project to the foundation of the internet. Linux runs on everything from your wireless router and Android Smartphone to CERN's most powerful computer. It has championed a whole new philosophy of collaboration and freedom in the software development community. We will hear from its users, its innovators and its originators. This is the story of Linux. For an entry level approach to learning Linux, try The Open University course T155 Linux: an introduction.

Linux - Distros, dogs and the UNIX family
Linux like the pet dog comes in many breeds, known as distributions or distros. In the same way that all dogs are descended from wolves all distros are descended from Gnu/Linux and the different types are bred for specific purposes.

Linux in everyday life - from smart-phones to supercomputers
Linux runs on everything from your workaday wireless router to CERN’s most powerful super-computer. Apache – the wide world’s web server of choice – is Linux based, as is your Android Smartphone and your local cash machine.

Linux and cloud computing
The future is now and the buzz word is Cloud. The Amazon and Google Cloud services represent a new dawn in the computer age, taking the strain away from your desk and laptops, virtual machines process your information nebulously. The servers that make this possible all run Linux based software. At the same time the Android and iPhone operating systems are dominating the mobile device market.
