Come on! none one them feels redundant when they say its Linux:-)

Actually, Ubuntu's website doesn't even say that its Linux!
Only when you drill deep into its documentation, you'll find this quote
"Ubuntu is an entirely open source operating system built around the
/Linux/ kernel."
For this, if I'm visiting its home page (ubuntu.com), I need to make 4
clicks. (home page -> support -> documentation -> Ubuntu <version> ->
About Ubuntu). Soon, in the near distant future, this will only be a
part of the license formality just like what Apple does with its Mac OSX.
"Linux for human beings" is a marketing strategy used by Ubuntu till the
recent past, I don't see their websites boasting about that now.
<ahem>
However, openSUSE is claiming that their distro is "Linux for open
minds", how dare they think that I'm a closed minded person? This is
atrocious. Bad openSUSE, bad Novell, bad people, #fail. my distro is
better than theirs. #win
