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.

You mean Adrian? He's an odd duck and I wouldn't take his choices at this level as anything other than some obscure tiny performance improvement.
My issue with RPM is even the official packages didn't put files where the standard they wrote said. Admittedly I haven't used an RPM distro in 20 years so it's possible things have changed.
