+<h2>What is an operating system?</h2>
+<p>
+Think about a computer. What do you see? You maybe see a monitor, a mouse, a
+keyboard and the computer case. All these things are physical. You can touch
+them with your hand. That means that they are material and can be owned. If
+someone steal these things, that person is a thief that violates the rights of
+the person that owns it. All these things are called hardware. Other hardware
+components of a computer is the processor (the brain of the computer),
different
+ kind of chips and the motherboard for example. You will not be able to do
many
+things only using the hardware. You need software. You need an operating
system
+with different programs that you can use.

+<small>Monitors, mice, keyboards and computer cases are all examples of
+hardware.</small>
+<p>
+An operating system, as we use the term, means a collection of programs that
are
+ sufficient to use the computer to do a wide variety of jobs. A general
purpose
+operating system, to be complete, ought to handle all the jobs that many users
+may want to do. For example, if you want to download a file from the Internet,
+you need to have an operating system which contains a program that can dowload
+files from the Internet.
+</p>
+<p>
+There are many different operating systems. You have maybe heard about
Windows,
+DOS or Mac OS. These are all proprietary (non-free) operating systems. You are
+not allowed to use, change, share or study them freely. You do not have the
+freedom you deserve when using them. There are free operating systems though.
+One of them is the GNU operating system. You may use GNU for whatever purpose
+you want to, change it, share it with others (including changed versions) and
+study it. This is basic freedoms that every computer user in the world should
+have.
