And like I said, those are NOT FOR LINUX. Open systems, run anywhere.
But (on especially sf) there are many amateur coders and they want to
put out small programs and often other peoples' small programs just "do
something wrong" or such. They happen to run Linux because it's a
majority operating system.

No, what am I saying? Linux is a KERNEL!
