You are correct. But, I actually was referring to the context in which
"stack" has been used in software. Another example would be "rootkit" or
yes even "broadband".

As far as I can see, they use "stack" as "software components layered together", the news here being Linux as the bottom layer. Instead of MsWindows or some Unix.

Can't see any problem with that.
