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.

Prefers Nano over Vim? Why'd you have to go and commit a felony. Now I can't take anything you say seriously. Damnit.
It is what I am used to, your approval did not factor into my choice.
And no sense of humor over what was clearly a joke comment. Icing on the cake.
Now I believe you now, you do use Nano.
Ah, I was involved in a hectic discussion in another thread, I also know that Linux users can be quite outspoken about their choice fs editor, so I didn't catch the joke.
Sorry about that! (:
We've all done it, I'm sorry if my joke wasn't apparent as well. Text is dumb.
You should have used nano(1) to write that joke.
Well, they could have been joking too. But touché.
