I don't stop there. I like to give the FULL name of my operating system when I use it. Example:

"What distro are you running?"

"Oh on this laptop here? This laptop is running Mint, daughter of Ubuntu, son of Debian, daughter of Linux, son of GNU! Her ancestors hail from the mountains of Copyleft, where the mighty Stallman wields his hammer Emacs to forge her people's legendary tools!"

Anything shorter is just disrespectful.
