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.

That's way too tame... I fear it won't attract 8M in funding.
Jokes aside, the Christian commandments are quite lacking (insufficient) when it comes to contemporary morals... eg. there's nothing forbidding discrimination or violence (short of homicide) or slavery or corruption or torture or neglicence etc. (and this is if one quite generously interprets "your neighbor" as "anybody else", which is clearly not what the word means and which doesn't explain why only some of the precepts have this "universal restriction").
I always find it weird when people cite the commandments as a moral compass without integrating them with (very much necessary) additional prescriptions.
