    I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, Hannah Montana/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Hannah Montana plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Hannah Montana system made useful by the Hannah Montana splashscreen, jailbait wallpaper and vital Disney branding comprising a full OS as defined by 2000’s teenagers. Many computer users run a modified version of the Hannah Montana system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Hannah Montana which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Hannah Montana system, developed by Miley Cyrus. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a pink operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the Hannah Montana operating system: the whole system is basically Hannah Montana with Linux added, or Hannah Montana/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of Hannah Montana/Linux.
