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.

Yeah, I wrote some python once to give me voice control over a plex server. Distance algorithms did okay I had a lot better results out of fuzzy wuzzy though
Kind of a dicey prospect with risk when you're doing duplication though.
Then you run into problems with things like Harry Potter and the philosopher's Stone versus Harry Potter and the sorcerer's Stone. Depending on how badly your database is degenerated you can even end up with words out of order and all kinds of crazy crap. If the database is truly large just truing the database up can be unreasonably time-consuming.
I was pretty amazed at all the different versions of string search and comparison algorithms.
