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.

RFC 2549 is such an important improvement over RFC 1149. Everyone should adopt the updated standard.
Have they resolved the issues with poop?
Persistent object ooze prevention? Yes, that’s a solved problem.
We should definitely be switching to the specification in RFC 6214. IPoACv6 is the latest standard.
You are absolutely correct. If your network supports IPv6, 6214 is definitely a requirement
Can you please explain what this is?
They are humorous IETF standards published on 1 April over the years. These are specifically about implementing internet protocols using carrier pigeons instead of more traditional media like wires or optical fiber.
Look at the date of the linked RFC documents...
