IT has been called the great leveller, but what really is the situation at
the grassroots level? Freeware and open source perfectly complement and
extend the goals of the NGOs. While Linux certainly has worked for
some organizations, there is more work to be done.

Description
|
Linux is a Unix clone written from scratch by Linus Torvalds with
assistance from a loosely-knit team of hackers across the Net.
It aims towards POSIX compliance.
It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged
Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries,
demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory
management and TCP/IP networking.

Development Status

Very active. Some big names are behind it so expect a lot from this OS.
