	I'm not an expert on this, but I think I could provide you with some
useful information. Linux is a freeware UNIX clone. It functions fairly well.
Final touches are being put on so that version 1.0 (out very soon) will be bug
free. 

	For more precise information there is another newsgroup that you should
look at. That being comp.os.linux. Read the FAQ. It has a lot of information.

	The actual binaries can be obtained from various ftp sites. At least
one of the sites is echoed on wuarchive.
