"Linux is the creation of Finn Linus Torvalds, who built the free software around work done by the Free Software Foundation and the venerable, and powerful, Unix operating system."
Good to see the press giving credit where credit is due with no need for silly naming extensions.

You know that this is actually wrong. My privileged sources show that Linus Torvalds is actually a virtual reality creation of the GNU invasion from the planet, Ort. Although the Ort seeds were first discovered in the snow near Helsinki, Finland, a mentor by the name of Richard Stallman nurtured these buds to become, what is now known world-wide as, GNU/Linus. When GNU/Linus created the world's most revered Operating System with the help of several hundred on the web, it became known as GNU/Linux, after it's creator, "web". There is, currently, a move on to change its name to GNU/WEB to more closely show its origin, but some of the original developers are still trying to keep Linux in the name.

Penguin : Linux version 2.4.18 on an i686 machine (797.90 BogoMips). Why is the government concerned about the lunatic fringe? Think about it.
