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.

Ironic coming from someone that is using a computer with OS and programs written by someone else and hardware constructed by other people, using electricity produced by others, et.c. :)
Entirely unrelated to your point (with which I fully agree) but wouldn't it make more sense to replace the first period in "et.c." with just a space (if you're not going to forego the period)?
etisn't short for anything so the period doesn't quite make sense (and you wouldn't be using any more letters than you already are).No worries, either way (obviously); I was just thinking.
You are completely missing the point of "Oh, mister developer sir, please, you absolutely must make me a button here so I can rename a file. I insist! I’ll even draw you a little spider in return."
I am a developer and I find others perspective on usability interesting. Each to his own I guess.
