An Idea About Linux

Linux is a Unix-like computer operating system. Linux is one of the most prominent examples of free software and open source development; typically all underlying source code can be freely modified, used, and redistributed by anyone.

The Linux kernel was first released to the public on 17 September 1991, for the Intel x86 PC architecture. The kernel was augmented with system utilities and libraries from the GNU project to create a usable operating system, which led to an alternative term, GNU/Linux. Linux is packaged for different uses in Linux distributions, which contain the sometimes modified kernel along with a variety of other software packages tailored to different requirements.

Predominantly known for its use in servers, Linux is supported by corporations such as Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Novell, Oracle Corporation, Red Hat, and Sun Microsystems. It is used as an operating system for a wide variety of computer hardware, including desktop computers, supercomputers, video game systems, such as PlayStation 2, 3, several arcade games, and embedded devices, such as mobile phones and routers.

Free Horse Racing Tips

It should be noted that there are free horse gambling tips, and then there are free horse gambling tips. Seasoned players know when they see a good tip. Nonetheless, here are a few general tips that would hopefully increase your handicapping skills. Place your money on the favorite, for a 33% of a win. Research: an uninformed bet is a good as a wasted bet. Check backgrounds of horses, jockeys and trainers.

Place your money where everyone’s heart is – the favorite runner in any race usually becomes the favored contender for a reason. The favorite has the best odds among all other runners, and it is also the one that has the most money wagered upon. Statistics show that 33% of the time, the favorite wins the races “on the nose.”

If you can, you should check the horse racing program for a list of trainers and jockey standings. This racing program should include the number of wins a runner has as of the last race. The rule of thumb is that the highest ranked riders generally ride the best horses, and the best trainers usually have the highest win percentage. If you take that into account, you as the player may also increase your win-frequency.



Researching also involves learning all about the horses. Don’t bet on a horse simply because you like its name or color. One thing you must learn is that how experienced the horse is. It is not unusual to find that some horses do not go on their winning streaks until several races later. For graded stakes races, you may not want to place a thick bankroll on any horse that has never run the course before.

Ealiest days of Horse Racing

In the earliest days of horse racing, the only way to know (with all certainty) which horse has won the game or whether the individual's gamble has paid off was to be physically there at the race tracks and to see the outcome of the race for himself; or at the very least, wait until the papers the next day announce the winners of the events. A player was needed to be physically present when bookies collected wagers and if the event of a winning ticket, bookies paid off dividends right at the race track too. If an individual was not there during pay-offs, chances were that he had to wave his money goodbye. Betting off track was literally unheard off then.
