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 field is should usually have "open source" or "closed source". Do not use "free software", "free and open source software" or "FOSS" as they are mainly licensing models and may or may not use the "open source" development methodology.

Kernel type - For Linux distros, this should be [[Linux kernel|Linux]]. It should not be the name of a distro.
