Guide: Back-end - Linux

Description

Linux (or GNU/Linux as one might think it's more appropriate)  is  an open source Operating System. Despite being available for desktop and server use, it is a lot more popular in the server side (and, well, in Android systems).  Virtually all servers you use to host applications will run Linux. Therefore it is important for a web developer to learn at least the basics about this system, which is what you will do in this Guide.
