"It's a UNIX system. I know this." "The linux build is currently broken" oh, the irony.

  Well granted: Linux = L(inux) I(s) N(ot) U(ni)X

    Is this a new lisp dialect?

    That is not actually where the name "Linux" comes from... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux#Naming http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux#Naming There is actually an OS I have used with a similar meaning name however: XINU ("Xinu Is Not Unix"): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinu

      The most famous (and I believe he original) is GNU's Not Unix.
      • voidlogic 12y ago
        FYI: XINU was started in 1979 and GNU was in 1983.

      There's also XNU, the OS X kernel, which stands for "X is Not Unix", despite the fact that (unlike Linux) OS X has since been Unix certified!
