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.

It's a week known fact that Al Yankovic is a well known activist against open source everything. He started a ranting campaign against it in the early 80's.
Weird Al Yankovic is the patron saint of everything open source. He also eats Corn Dogs like a fucking monster.
Don't understand, is he for or against FOSS?
Who cares about his thoughts on FOSS. He killed Pablo Escobar so he gets a pass in my book
Sam and Max damn. I suggest Sir / Maam adds a little translucency to Konsole.
