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.

Natural on mice, traditional on trackpads.
You monster!
Now this is an answer I never thought I'd see
are you sure you don't mean the opposite? Because on trackpads, it's like on touch screen and should go in the same direction no? (I mean, from when I used a MAC, I couldn't use natural scrolling with a mouse, but loved it with the trackpad...)
