TechCurmudgeon writes A story in PCWorld's "World beyond Windows" column outlines coming improvements in Chrome OS that will enable easily running Linux directly from a USB stick: "Have you ever installed a full desktop Linux system on your Chromebook? It isn't all [that] hard, but it is a bit more complex than it should be. New features in the latest version of Chrome OS will make dipping into an alternative operating system easier. For example, you'll be able to easily boot a full Linux system from a USB drive and use it without any additional hassle!"

I believe I speak for everyone when I say we don't give a flying fuck what you want us to call it. Linux is easy to say, and we will not eschew brevity to stoke some self-important asshole's ego. Thanks, RMS, for writing some tools that Linus uses to make you relevant.

Eventually systemd will replace GNU entirely, so it'd be linux/systemd.. eventually, the kernel will be forked too and it'll be redhat/systemd
