Linux
Pronounced lee-nucks. A freely-distributable open source implementation of UNIX operating system that runs on a number of hardware platforms. It was developed mainly by Linus Torvalds.

Login (Log in, Log on)
To make a computer system or network recognize you so that you can begin a session. You usually need to enter a username and password to authenticate who you are. With mc², it is a security requirement that each user identify themselves to the system at the start of every session by logging in; then log out if they end their session, or if the user changes. This enables the system to correctly identify you and present you, and only you, with access to your personal information and group membership details. This is true of many websites that present the user with personal information, e.g. access to bank accounts, online shopping etc.
