      I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Hannah Montana Linux, is in fact, Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, Miley plus Hannah. Hannah Montana Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning Miley Cyrus system made useful by the Miley corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by Disney.

      Many computer users run a modified version of the Miley system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of Miley which is widely used today is often called Hannah Montana Linuxand many of its users are not aware that it is basically the Miley Cyrus system, developed by the Miley Cyrus Project.

      There really is a Hannah Montana Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Hannah Montana is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Hannah Montana Linux is normally used in combination with the Miley Cyrus operating system: the whole system is basically Miley Cyrus with Hanna Montana added, or Miley/Hannah. All the so-called Hanna MontanaLinux distributions are really distributions of Miley/Hannah!

      I heard a guy once tried to make his Linux work without compiling Hannah Montana Linux. It was obviously a failure from the start, but the madman raged on. In his hubris, he obstinately weaved lines of code to make something… Anything that would seem to function as an OS, at least from the surface, no matter what cursed and bloated horrors laid beneath.

      An insane smile cracked on his face as lightning in the night sky as he’d finally made his monitor display a pop-up window that read “hello world”. Soon he’d ironed out the details of all the other stuff an OS was supposed to do, an released his abomination upon the market… Keeping it closed source so no-one could see what sacrilege he’d done to get there, and also so that he could make a buttload of money.

      Thus was born Microsoft Windows.

        I often feel this way about my own code. Yeah I wanna share but…I don’t want to get torn apart by 10x developers. There’s a lot of things I’m ashamed of.
