Sorry about that. I didn't even realize this mattered....or know what a Linux distribution is. Googling the answer suggested the way to find out is to type Actually, what you are using is a distribution of the GNU system, Linux is one of the kernels that can be used with GNU. You can help us spread that knowledge by talking about GNU when you talk about GNU-powered software distributions (a la GNU/Linux instead of just Linux). See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html for further information. But you didn't answer what version of GNU/Linux you are using, is it Debian? Fedora? Maybe something else?
