> Linux is like using a constructed language. It's precise, constantly pared down, and optimized. It's effective and boring. That depends on what you consider "Linux". The Linux kernel probably sits within that definition and to be fair so does the Windows Kernel (which a lot of folks forget about). It's all the other stuff that sits on top of the kernels that make up the "mish mash".
