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.

Just put a lil bit o' tape over it. I'm actually insane and put tape over most of the logos around my house hahahah
Well it's not like they paid you to display their logo. I think you're just fiscally responsible and more people should do that.
I wish more people would. I think it's ridiculous that we've put up with buying all these tools and appliances that come with ads like pimples all over. Pisses me right off.
