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.

So, is it her gmail account, while the minimum age for registration is 13 years? And why does she write about herself in the singular 3rd person?
There was a time when there was no minimum age for Gmail registration, as the registration process didn't ask for your date of birth. Even if there was a limit at that time, no one ever lied about their age in an account registration?
