From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Looking good! Has there been any word on the beta track?
Yeah, I've had a developer tell me that they've done most of the beta milestone already. There will be an Alpha 6, however, so the absolute earliest we could see Beta 1 is end of February, assuming Alpha 6 releases end of January, and they move into Beta after that with no delays.
According to the releases so far, and how far ahead the code has come, and how many bugs it has still, i'd say that 1.0 will probably come around August or September. I'm running Cosmic and it's still not there, too many rough edges.
I had cosmic running recently on one ssd and it was pretty solid for that short period of time. I’ll keep checking in!
Will we be able to upgrade to v1.0 in place?
