The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux." So I think you're right about using Linux term. Sorry for a noise.

Made me laugh and I'm sure you know but I believe the traditional computer science terms have always been just that. cracking as beating or finding a weakness in an auth system such as defeating the encryption or password but using it as intended hacking as circumventing or beating the auth system not by brute force etc. but finding a flaw and making it do something it shouldn't like short circuiting the algorithm. -- ___ 'Write programs that do one thing and do it well. Write programs to work together. Write programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface' (Doug McIlroy) ___
