I don't expect to have a Pontiac installed on my computer. But I do expect to have both a web browser and a DBMS installed on my computer(s).

What will the installed "package" be called?

If I say to someone "quick, get those security to updates to firebird installed", what will the response be?

Maybe they should have called it "Linux". You'll never get a kernel confused with anything else ;-).
