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.

Everyone was religious back then if they wanted to have any success. You were either religious or pretended to be. Why do you think Thomas Paine is the only Founding Father not to have a monument.
Well yeah... but these were people who thought the church reforms weren't enough for them and wanted to make the entire country more "godly" by purging all traces of catholicsm and then leaving to cross an entire ocean to set up a new godly society.
Different groups. The Freemasons, which is a real group, but not as occult as pop culture would have you believe, had more to do with the founding of the US. Freemasons also had connections with the French Revolution.
The Puritans are the group you're describing.
Correct, I'm describing the puritans. Either way it has nothing to do with the current association of what "1776" looks like to outside parties which is what this is about - not a discussion on who did what a couple of hundred years ago.
You are imposing a political view onto people who you have never talked to politics to for your own sake.
For my own sake? All I did was state my opinion on the matter (and mention of others that I know share this same opnion) of what kind of mental imagry 1776 brings up as opposed to what the company seem to intend. What on earth do I get out of sharing such an opinion? It isn't like I have shares in a competing brand where I will benefit from swaying people's opnions on System 76.
That's very reddit of you.
