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.

They probably named it HORNET for a reason - think Japanese Murder Hornets... What Could Possibly Go Wrong??

It will probably start out as little glitches and slowdowns to destroy faith in your system ("Windows works right all the time") a random 2 second pauses. Finally one day every Linux box in the world crashes, all at the same time, because some 'dummy' in Microsoft deleted the private signing key.
