From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

"Russian" is not a race. And Finland has a history with Russia that isn't easily forgotten. That is to say, every Finn I've spoken to hates Russia for invading Finland... Twice...

Finland isn't even the only neighbour that hates Russia. At some point one has to wonder why so many of Russia's neighbours hate, or at the very least don't feel comfortable with, Russia.

Maybe, just maybe, the reason why everyone is having issues with Russia is Russia's own damn fault.
