There is no one "current Linux operating system" due to the fact that Linux is developed and distributed in various forms by many different individuals and corporations. The current version of Linux depends on which of these "distributions" you are interested in installing. For example, a popular distribution of Linux tailored for use as a Desktop system is Ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com), which is distributed by the company Canonical. The current release of Ubuntu is 8.04, which was released in April this year. There are literally hundreds of distributions freely available online, but other distributions which are of note in the desktop arena include Fedora (www.fedoraproject.org), openSUSE (www.opensuse.org) and Debian (www.debian.org), each of which have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Each terminal will give you four attempts to find the correct password, if the forth attempt is incorrect the terminal locks and you will not be able to try again. However, if after three attempts you have failed to choose the correct one, hit the red button at the bottom right corner of the terminal to quit, then go back and try again, you get four more attempts, you can repeat this process as many times as you wish without getting locked out.
