What part of "Linux is a kernel, not an OS" didn't you understand? The part that required you to know the difference between the two? Quote the "Wes's criteria" you speak of here or shut up and stop INTENTIONALLY misquoting me. And, by the way, Linux doesn't have a CVS tree, or any other sort of source control system. They have Linus' home machine, and (hopefully) some backups somewhere. Great way to run a development program. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
