Don't mean to be rude but its Linus Torvalds, not Linux Torvalds. :-)
In Ebonics I think that would be "the T man".
The "OS Linux" is just a kernel called Linux, not a compl
Actually, his name is Linus Torvalds =) He got the X because of the X at

The GNU percentage depends highly on what the distribution provider puts
into it.
