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.

You can't say that without explaining the reference. How can they be one of the lucky 10 000 when they still don't get it?

hmm, looks like my link still works... clicking on any of those words should take them to the answer, which is a bit too involved for me to summarize :). if for some reason your client isn't reading it, here's the naked link:
