Linus Torvalds: 'Linux is bloated'

[Jon VanAlten]

Hi Darryl,

I should have known that semantics would matter on a list full of linux
nerds (I include myself, and mean that in the best possible way!)

So, wrt my poorly constructed paragraph:

s/kernel/Linux, the kernel,/

s/Linux as a whole/entire Linux-based OS distributions (to which Asay has
assigned the misnomer Linux in his blog entry's update)/

:D
