Linux turns 17 today and in these 17 years it has evolved so much that it can be seen almost everywhere, from school books to office computers and hey even my smart phone runs on Linux!

No one would have thought that Linux will come to this stage giving trouble to software giant Microsoft.

This gave rise to Linux flavors like Red Hat which are premium and comes with support just like any other paid software.
