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.

She lasted slightly longer than a head of lettuce. I don't think she'll be the reason Gnome Foundation lives or dies.
That must be one plucky lettuce head considering that holly has been the director for nearly a year.
Gnome foundation will continue to thrive with and without her but she has made some decent contributions while she was there
Unlike some other leaders that have been compared to lettuce.....
