Linux

Linux and Linus are there any connections? At the first sight no.But if you look closer, you can see the imgaination behind the ideas.
Linus, invented by Charles M.Schulz doesn't do much, but insisting on being a child, behaving like children do, refuses to be influenced by anybody or anything – that has made him famous for gnerations.
Behind Linux in the contrary you can discover the will of poeple not to be depend on huge firms with much money and many paid brains in the background.They developed their own computer-programm-effecitv, cheap and successfull.

So Linus an Linux are both winners, they go there own way.

Linux is our hobby, our love and passion. Independence and liberty mean peace in our minds.
A well known enemy has some other vision: money, uniformity, using tricks of all kinds.
The BigBlackBox hides lethal dangers inside! Remember: Secret features make world domination easy.
Like a crystal clear jewel is Linux, our pride. It's GNU, more than UNIX. Have a nice day! – Tacy.

Linux is not the name of that unixoid operating system – Linux is the name of the kernel. The operating system itself is called »GNU«, which is a recursive acronyme for »GNU's Not Unix«. The GNU project has its own kernel, Hurd, but since Hurd isn't finished yet, and will probably not be finished within the next few years, you can't use the GNU system without Linux.
The correct name of the entire operating system, with kernel, is therefore »GNU/Linux«. If you're using an experimental Hurd system, the entire OS is called »GNU/Hurd«, but since Hurd is the official GNU kernel, it might be referred to as »GNU« only.

Linus Torvalds pronounces it »lynn-ucks«, but for some reason people where I live like to pronounce it »line-x«, which to me doesn't sound right at all.
