Angry I want to reload Linus over an existing Linus program
|
Hi welcome to the LQ country!
Point of semantic:
"Linus" is a
NAME of a handsome, illustrious, gracious and benevolent PERSON (Linus Benedict Torvalds) the founder of Linux kernel; while
Linux is the name of a Unix-like Kernel (adopting the "x" from UNI
X; and finally,
Gnu/Linux is the proper description of the Operating System for
most of distributions, not because of the GPL but also to acknowledge the efforts of many developers who contribute the supporting utilities and libraries, many of which are provided by the
GNU Project,
except FreeBSD and all *BSD's, Solaris and similar codes that are descendants, partly or in whole, to original UNIX kernel code --for most of times past decades these latter also incorporated GNU tools and utilities to make up an OS although there is a recent turn for FreeBSD (OpenMandriva too?) to replace some GPL dependencies in the FreeBSD base system by replacing the GNU compiler collection with the BSD-licensed LLVM/Clang compiler.
Moreover, the phrase: "
Linus program" can be misleading if to mean programs running within Gnu/Linux OS. Most programs/software/applications running in a distro are
not strictly written by
Linus but by many (probably thousands) of contributors, coders, developers and programmers who created software to port into and run in a Gnu/Linux system --always run-read the Help of every application to know and acknowledge the good souls behind the program (and probably say --as what I usually do-- a short prayer for those people by whose effort we owe the software
for free if there is no other means to pay them a compliment at least.) e.g. my presence here is to return the gratitude I have from these developers, to return an
effort of help to others for free because I received from others free. As it is written in someone's book
Freely ye received, freely ye give!

Use sudo with the password. If you can rephrase your question please so that we can better help you. If you don't have the password probably you are not the administrator of the system. Ask help from your admin.
Hope that helps. Good luck and enjoy.
