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. </pre> [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit/_tl4WBguewE/x-00eYR0u4AJ Linux vs. BSD on comp.unix.pc-clone.32bit Google archive] ---- Linux: You'll give out before it does. ---- Virus-free, crash-free, worry-free, free-free. ---- Get the most out of your computer.
