Dan: You should check that (Linux its an acronym Linux Its Not UniX) and a
very recursive one like GNU (Gnu its Not Unix)

Linus Torvalds named it that way (not only because he has a colosal EGO and
for the close spelling with his name but just to make shure AT&T dont sue
him jejejejeje :))
Nah!, the last prhase its a Joke Ok?, he only wanted to make clear that his
OS was "diferent from source" from the original Unix (TM), after all he was
a student on that time.

Greetings from Merida, Yucatan, Mexico.
