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.

Dates were invented by calendar companies to sell more calendars.

Full text search sounds REALLY cool! I have almost all my documents scanned & OCR'd and having native local full text search would be amazing!

Desktop search is notoriously hard. For all nontrivial searching tasks on Mac and Linux I use fzf for filenames and ack for full text search.
