 Linux -- technically just the kernel at the heart of the open-source operating system that often goes by the same name -- has never attained the kind of widespread consumer recognition of OSes like Windows and iOS. Nevertheless, its clout continues to increase: it powers everything from Facebook's mammoth data centers to Google's Android.
-技术上来说，Linux位于只是该开源操作系统中中心部分的内核的统称，Linux从来没有取得像windows或IOs这类操作系统广泛的用户认知度。然而，它的影响力仍在持续增长：它提供了对几乎任何事物的支持，从facebook的庞大数据中心到google的Android。
 That utility is reflected in statistics published roughly annually by the [Linux Foundation][2], the organization that employs Linux creator and overseer Linus Torvalds among others; the foundation published its September 2013 report Friday. The foundation tracks statistics using the Git source-code management tool that Torvalds wrote when unsatisfied with the earlier options. It's no Linux, but Git now has spread far and wide, too, as more and more discovered its utility at managing programming projects distributed among many developers.'

 Linux基金会年会发布的粗略统计反应了其（多用途，实用性，通用性），该组织雇佣了Linux创始人和监管人Linux Torvalds以及其他人，该基金会在星期五发布了其2013年9月份的报告。该基金会利用Torvalds（因不满足之前源代码管理工具）编写的Git 源代码管理工具来进行跟踪统计。
 
 Linux itself is probably the best example of such a widespread project. The recent version 3.10 of the kernel, released June 30, 2013, drew updates from 1,392 developers at 243 companies. That's up from 1,131 developers at 191 companies for version 3.0, released July 21, 2011.'
