Please folks, grow up and move this discussion elsewhere. It's a
religious war that's brewing, and it'll go on for decades. Linux
doesn't have any associated trademarks, so call it whatever you want.
I'll continue to opt with just "Linux" since it has fewer characters
to type and fewer syllables to speak over the other proposed incantations.
However, if people want to spend the effort to type out things like
"Linux Based MIT X Windows/GNU/BSD/POSIX/MIT system" or "Linux Based GNU
system", let them.
