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.

You seem to be under the impression that I'm obligated to take every claim and see if it's backed up by evidence.

I'm not, and I don't feel any compulsion to find out if Vaxry has made rational claims or not. That's the beauty of using subjective reasoning; it's not reasonable for anyone but the subject (me).

Be my guest and see if he's justified. Tell other people. I stopped caring what he has to say here the minute I read that paragraph, and I choose not to hear him out any further either way.
