Linux is the best-known and most-used open-source operating system. As an operating system,
Linux is software that sits underneath all of the other software on a computer, receiving requests
from those programs and relaying these requests to the computer’s hardware.
A Linux distribution is a selection of coordinated software around the Linux kernel, which in some
cases is also a more or less adapted distribution kernel that is usually maintained in close
coordination with Upstream itself.
In computing, a firewall is a network security system that monitors and controls the incoming and
outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. A firewall typically establishes a
barrier between a trusted network and an untrusted network, such as the Internet.
