I think that perhaps some codewords should be adopted for various *nix flavours/implementations/reimplementations. For example: linux = frogboat. Nobody will ever come here to ask about fixing problem with this. And besides, I would really not mind if there was a single place where I could read something about frogboat and other dolls.
