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.

Great, hopefully this high-profile move makes them change their name into something that can't be potentially pronounced 8 different ways. Forge-joe? Or more like Jorge-ho?

I've always been a fan of for-ged-joe (like forget Joe, but with a d instead of a t)

Maybe it's more like for-gay-joe? Or for-gay-o? For-gee-o? For-gy-o? Who knows?
