Sure would be nice if Linux wasn't in the name.  Maybe it's just me, but
it'd be nice of some "open" things were actually more "open."

What next?  RedHatSamba?  Samba just isn't good enough...  Gotta have the
OS name/distribution in there for it to be "cool."

Ahh, OpenBIOS...  Time to work on a new "port" or version I guess.
Something that any OS vendor/user can get behind and implement without
being associated with Linux.  (Yes, some of us have had very bad
encounters with Linux and do anything to avoid it.)
