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.

Why has it got 40Tb of storage? What's this for
Says "up to". It will probably come with 2TB, but they are happy to put in more if you want to pay for extra. But 40TB is when they start to refuse your unreasonable requests.
Presumably the price that they're quoting is for everything to be maxed out then. Seems like a really odd way of doing it.
