            Floppy distros were all the rage. Here’s another one, still got a few floppies of it floating around the lab!

        C programming language also uses STD in a lot of the standard library names (short for standard). I wonder if the creators of both didn’t realize when they named it or did and thought it was funny. My bet is the latter.

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.
