Yes - I agree! Who cares what Linux is. Linux is a program called Redhat? or SuSE? or Mandriva? All these "names" are Linux. Whew - they must do battle a lot over who is the best? So what is Redhat? or SuSE? or Mandriva? are they all Linux - then why not call them all "Linux"? Are they all so different that you can't tell the difference. Why would you want them to be different if they are "ALL" Linux? By the way - "What is Linux"? Okay - well, now you're telling me that I need a "Desktop" program called GNOME or KDE to see what I get when I get "Linux". Oh - I understand now -- you don't want me to know that Linux is "NOT" a desktop but, that KDE and GNOME are but you don't want me to know that KDE and GNOME are in fact the desktops I need to do all my work with. Well, what about Linux? Do I need Linux if I have KDE and GNOME? What is Linux? Now I am confused...? What is Windows? Oh - KDE and GNOME are like Windows...that's what you want me to know but you won't tell me. Oh - so I am supposed to figure this out on my own...I have never used any computer but "Microsoft Windows". Oh - Microsoft Windows is not a computer? You have me confused now for reals. I work 8 to 10 hours per day using my computer and it's called Microsoft Windows. Everytime I turn it on - it tells me so. What did you say Linux was - again please?
