From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Great, now I can stop renaming it on business PCs
Might look edgy or funny to some, but at the least isn't professional and is offensive to many.
Gimp / retard / spaz
That's not how the word gimp was used. It was a cripple. Somebody with a gimp was somebody with a limp.
I still don't get how that isn't professional and not offensive?
I always went the other way and would loudly announce when I needed to open it for photo editing “Time to bring out the GIMP!”
