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.

Thanks. Bizarre! So doesn't that mean hackers can and should target atms because they're insane security risks, not having received security updates for a long time now?
That is one method that has been used recently… they drill a hole and connect to a serial port or something.
They're also security hotspots and the value you're trying to attract is physical currency. The chances of getting caught is pretty high.
