You likely know this as I'm sure most Linux veterans do by now, and the
above "he should have called it something else" was simply a figure of
speech, but maybe the below will be new to the newbies at least.

Actually, "he" (Linus) did call it something else, "Freeix". It was
Linus' colleague that put it up on the ftp-site that put it in a
directory he named "linux", and so history was made.

(Just google freeix linux for more. "I'm feeling lucky" does it for me.)
