| The greatest open source software of all time |
|---|
The Linux kernel was not the first open source software (some argue that GNU Emacs was), but it is certainly the most famous and successful -- the prime mover behind the popularization of open source development and the use of free open source products. Today the Linux kernel is the foundation of a rich variety of operating system distributions, the poster penguin of open source software, and the number one inductee into our open source hall of fame.
