@OP
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linuxâ€, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux†distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

For the life of me, I can’t figure out why everyone on this board is so obsessed with Linux. I mean, when you buy a new computer, it comes with Windows (or OS X if you swing that way). Why brag about using something that’s free when you’ve already paid for something that’s better? That’s like going out to a bar, ordering a pint, running to the men’s room, pouring the draft down the drain, and filling your glass with toilet water. Then you can’t even enjoy your own toilet water, you have to come back out to the bar and yell at your friends “WHY ARE YOU DRINKING THAT NON-FREE BEER WHEN YOU COULD HAVE FREE TOILET WATER?†or “YOU KNOW THAT BEER GIVES YOU CANCER IF YOU DRINK ENOUGH OF IT RIGHT? WATER IS THE HEALTHIEST DRINK YOU CAN PUT INTO YOUR BODYâ€. Then you have to go looking under the barstools for gum because the toilet water can’t be drunk on its own, you need to add your own flavoring. And then you all have internet fights about who found the best gum under the stools, “My Mint flavored toilet water is best†“No, I found a new flavor stuck to this guy’s Fedora, it’s the greatest toilet water flavor everâ€.
I, along with everyone else in the bar, will just give you strange looks while we enjoy our quality beverage and be social.

When I first started listening I recall hearing some news bit about a spending bill. They gave the rationale under which it was proposed and presented the arguments in favor of it with some independent commentary from economists who were in favor of it. Then they presented the arguments of those who were opposed to the bill. Then they had some economist on to explain what this might help and what might go wrong. It wasn't cast as LOLZ EPIC BATTLE BETWEEN LIBERALS AND CONSERVATIVES. It was just people talking about the economics behind a spending bill. Pretty cool.
