I know a lot of tech sites separate Linux and Android as OS's. I'm guessing Android isn't "GNU/Linux" enough even though the kernel is Linux? Surely the same could be said for a few other distros that are put under the "Linux" umbrella?Android is really a fork of linux hidden behind a lot of java...Tom te tom te tomGibbs
