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.

Is it an unavoidable situation that projects that are run by passionate individuals will burn those people out? Or is their more projects can do to ask those that contribute the most to slow down and not put the work before themselves?
It's unavoidable. Nothing drives a project like real passion; nothing burns through people like real passion. There's nothing to be said to such people as they wouldn't listen.
All there is to do is annoy them as little as possible and admire the result.

passion is the basis of open source. one day i hope that people that have passion will be more cherished by the world than they are currently.
