Yes, Linux is a version of Unix based on open source code, named Linux after the creator, Linus Torvalds. Linus wrote the kernal code from scratch and created a worldwide collaborative process to extend his project. Today, there are more UNIX applications that run on top of the Linux kernal than any other UNIX. So, if you choose to go with Linux, you will have a wealth of applications and utilities to play with. Enjoy.

Hi All,
I was wondering how come major router vendors (e.g C**CO ) use

Isn't it a disobedience to the GPL licence ?

WINETRICKS(1) Wine package manager WINETRICKS(1)
NAME
winetricks - manage virtual windows environments using wine
SYNOPSIS
winetricks [options] [verb ... ]
DESCRIPTION
winetricks is an easy way to work around common problems in Wine.
It provides simple commands to tweak Wine settings, download and install missing Windows DLLs and fonts, or install various games or apps
with appropriate workarounds for the current version of wine.
It can be used via gui or commandline. The commandline mode is intended both for interactive use and as a building block in fancier wine
frontends and in automated regression testing.
winetricks with no arguments displays a GUI using either Zenity or Kdialog.
OPTIONS
--force
Don't check whether packages were already installed
--gui Show gui diagnostics even when driven by commandline
-k, --keep_isos
Cache isos (allows later installation without disc)
--no-clean
Don't delete temp directories (useful during debugging)
--no-isolate
Don't install each app or game in its own bottle
-q, --unattended
Don't ask any questions, just install automatically
-r, --ddrescue
Retry hard when caching scratched discs
--showbroken
Even show verbs that are currently broken in wine
-v, --verbose
Echo all commands as they are executed
-h, --help
Display this message and exit
-V, --version
Display version and exit
Commands:
