/* Linux is a FREE UNiX_clone operating system and is now getting popular
   and popular used in Taiwan. FREE means you can copy either the
   sources or the binary of it for free, plus you can even sell/modify
   it for profit ($) under the term of GPL (GNU General Publish
   Lisence) and/or GLPL (GNU Library General Lisence). FSF said that
   FREE is not referring to "free of charge", but freedom of access
   to the softwares both in binary & source.   */
