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.

Not at all. I can't remember anything like that.
Are we pretending that his various and ubiquitous abusive rants didn't happen, or that they weren't him acting like an asshole?
I can only assume that you are very young.
In our times, a good rant has gotten somewhat out of fashion, and that is a sad fact. A good rant does not make you an AH (or anybody else). It is different from spreading hate (which is quite fashionable these days). You must learn the distinction.
Right, I must be "very young" if I don't think that hurling abuse at others is OK.
Yeah, pretty much figured you were one of the people who thought his behavior wasn't only acceptable but preferable. In other words, an asshole.
