Come on! none one them feels redundant when they say its Linux:-)
few wants GNU before it though.
Actually, Ubuntu's website doesn't even say that its Linux!
Only when you drill deep into its documentation, you'll find this quote
"Ubuntu is an entirely open source operating system built around the
/Linux/ kernel."
For this, if I'm visiting its home page (ubuntu.com), I need to make 4
clicks. (home page -> support -> documentation -> Ubuntu <version> ->
About Ubuntu). Soon, in the near distant future, this will only be a
part of the license formality just like what Apple does with its Mac OSX.
"Linux for human beings" is a marketing strategy used by Ubuntu till the
recent past, I don't see their websites boasting about that now.
<ahem>
However, openSUSE is claiming that their distro is "Linux for open
minds", how dare they think that I'm a closed minded person? This is
atrocious. Bad openSUSE, bad Novell, bad people, #fail. my distro is
better than theirs. #win
