Usage details
A number of elements of this template need further explanation:
Family - This is the operating system family, examples include Microsoft Windows, Unix, and Unix-like. Linux is not a family, but rather a kernel. All Linux distributions are part of the Unix-like family.
Source model - this does not mean licensing model. Source models are open source, shared source and closed source. Things like Free software, Proprietary software, and Shareware are licensing models and should not be used here.
Kernel type - For Linux distros, this should be [[Linux kernel|Linux]]. It should not be the name of a distro.
