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.
