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.

Sometimes breaks all audio until I manually restart it (hey, just like pulseaudio. This problem never happens when using ALSA straight)

Well, how much lennart is in this thing? Not only can that predict how well it's going to work, but also how soon it'll be fixed, how responsive the 'team' will be to bug reports, how compatible it'll be with other system components AND whether 'compatibility' will be achieved before the entire OS has been systematically imported into (and badly replicated by) the project.
