Hi Ed,

Don't quote me on this, but I think the idea was tie the "identity" of Linux 
to the kernel, rather than the distribution.  Linux==kernel, not Linux=distro 
then kernel==part-of-distro.  Whilst the latter is (strictly speaking) true, 
the former isn't.

I vaguely remember reading something on the kerneltrap list about this....or 
that could be the red wine talking ;)

Cheers,

James
