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.

They say it here, but I disagree. Fingerprinting is difficult to prevent but not impossible. Same thing as with malware: You'll never be 100% protected from malware, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't take precautions against it, does it?
Here's one way of testing how unique your fingerprint is.
