Linux?

It's a real pity the didn't use "free software" as a criteria, instead of "Linux". For one thing, I hope they mean the operating system made by adding Linux to GNU+Linux when they say "Linux", but I still don't see the reason to leave FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and ReactOS out. Whether it helps Hurd-based GNU systems might be unclear.

They've done a good thing, but there's room for improvement and it should have been obvious.

(I'll be happy if someone points out that the article was simply incomplete and they have actually done the smart thing.)

True, but I think it's probably a calculated territory kind of thing. You
don't try to defend huge lands with a small number of troops. If you don't
have a lot of troops, you pick your battles.

OIN chose Linux (my guess, GNU/Linux).
