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.

Absolutely. The author is criticizing something that can easily be solved by.... installing more software that it's probably in the same media a user used to install the OS. I don't see the point of this review other than "I need to write something in my blog today."

I think the whole point of this exercise is to not have the extra software in the media. Could be wrong.

Which media are you talking about? The installation media, or the running system?
