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.

Seems like some kind of sacrilege.
i totally understand if they named it bsod just for the meme, it's funny also they could make an option to change de color :b
They could have gone with the “Red Screen of Wrath” or something.
Mauve Screen of Suffering
Lilac of Log Level 1
I’m giving you bonus points for the alliteration.
The thought of someone's Linux install failing catastrophically, displaying a "MSoS", then the user switching back to the is MS OS because of it is funny to me.
Tosca Screen of Wailing
Crimson Screen of Grief
That almost sounds soothing.
