Hi Robin,
You're right, I probably should have said "only" instead of
"just".
Your next point is also quite valid :
Linux is just a kernel.
I feel I have to point out that saying 'Linux is *just* a kernel'
seriously downplays the engineering effort involved in building > Calling the whole system just Linux is arguably a

I apologise, I spoke too soon. It was mostly a reaction to yet another
penguin mascot.
Arguably so, and please rest assured that I have had
the 'the talk' from
RMS more than once, but in the case of linuxaudio.org the organisation
is specifically about the Linux kernel and related free software. We
don't cover audio on BSD, Darwin or any other free software platform. We
do recognise the The Linux Mark Institute and the work it has done to
defend the Linux trademark.
That makes a lot of sense. Keep up the good work, don't mind me :)
