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.
