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.

Yep, we're right up there with lazy people who literally ask strangers to Google things for them and then sit back and wait for the response to be delivered to them personally. The worst.
This is an online DISCUSSION

If they brought up SELinux I'd assume they had no need to Google it.
I would agree until they asked what it is
