No.  That's it.  The cool name, that is.  We worked very hard on
creating a name that would appeal to the majority of people, and it
certainly paid off: thousands of people are using linux just to be able
to say "OS/2? Hah.  I've got Linux.  What a cool name".  386BSD made the
mistake of putting a lot of numbers and weird abbreviations into the
name, and is scaring away a lot of people just because it sounds too
technical.

Linux: You'll give out before it does.


Virus-free, crash-free, worry-free, free-free.


Get the most out of your computer.


Linux, it's not good because it's free, it's free because it's good.
