Talk:Nexenta OS

Probably a silly question, but...

We always add Turkish page link here but someone removes it for two days. We can't see who removes it in the history. Also on Turkish Wikipedia, Nexenta page also is being removed by someone. The Turkish Wikipedia team can't find who is s/he. Can we get any explanation for this? Heartsmagic —Preceding comment was added at 01:26, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

...how does this:

Nexenta OS uses Ubuntu ... as its base

reconcile with this:

Nexenta OS is not based on Linux

given that

Ubuntu ... is a widely used Linux distribution

Linux is the name of a kernel which was also applied to the variant of GNU which uses Linux. Ubuntu Linux consists of much more than just a kernel! If you look at it from this POV, you don't get confused :) -- mms 02:48, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

In that case, the explanation in the article is not clear enough. As will be obvious, I am no expert on this, so maybe you or someone else with more knowledge could do some editing there? To the general reader, the text as it stands is confusing. Loganberry (Talk) 23:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Looks fine to me. If there's confusion, it's because Linux hijacked GNU, with users of the Linux kernel renaming the entire OS to Linux, and Torvalds having too big an ego and too little respect for those who build the OS he was using to even be willing to compromise on the issue.

The wording in the article is pretty obvious, even given that context. Nextena is BASED upon Ubuntu but doesn't use Linux (is not based on Linux.) --Squiggleslash 18:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
