What's with the anal retentive GNU/Linux all the time. Just call in linux already. With a GNU/Linux name, linux never is going to get any popularity. Yeah yeah, I know, linux officially just denotes the kernel etc., but really, no-one cares. It's an image thing. How many people do you hear saying that they have "microsoft windows ixpee" on their computer? That's right. None. They just state that they've got "XP", or "Vista", or "Mac" / "Apple" I don't think I've ever heard anyone bragging or claiming to run "ntoskrnl.exe" or "Mach" on their Windows/Apple box, whereas I hear plenty of people who say they run Redhat, Ubuntu, SuSE, etc. I don't see the problem.

Well, I agree that GNU/Linux sounds stupid, kind of like a pretentious first initial i.e. L Ron Hubbard, G. Gordon Liddy, etc. Maybe windows should be referred to as "that bullshit OS that I had to pay for" or "BSOS" for short. Just tell me the distribution.
