It's a hat

See, I don't get any of that. But if a cute nerdy boy wanted to try to explain it, I'd nod adoringly.

They're different types of linux, Linux is the kernel (using a car analogy the engine) and the different types (Distros) decide if you want an easier experience (Ubuntu is very user friendly) to being able to change anything about your system but having to do a lot of work in it (I'm looking at you Gentoo)

OK, but see, I'm the kinda girl who says, "What's a LINUX?" Oh, sorry. I'm supposed to be nodding right now, aren't I?

Linux is the name of an operating system like Windows * and Macs OS series. It's just a small market share compared to the big ones.

Let's see, CentOS, Red Hat, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, OpenSuse, Debian, Ubuntu, OS X and symbian is on my daily use/work/home

See, I don't get any of that. But if a cute nerdy boy wanted to try to explain it, I'd nod adoringly.

Ok, let's see what I can come up with.

CentOS - The operating system that costs one penny.
Red Hat - The operating system used by old ladies in purple dresses.
Solaris - The operating system used in NASA's sun probe.
FreeBSD - A movement to get BSD out of jail.
OpenBSD - What BSD did to the safe to be put into jail.
OpenSuse - The Arabian operating system based on Open Sesame.
Debian - The alien operating system.
Ubuntu - The African operating system.
OS X - The operating system used on the X-Files show.
Symbian - The sympathetic operating system.

Windows xxx - The look and feel as if it were an operating system
Unix - an operating system after a eunuch experience.

One Zoot Suit and a Fedora with a feather in the band later, I had my boss and my co-workers rolling on ground.

Having just re-watched "Roswell that Ends Well", I envision you as Professor F, strolling into the Sears, swinging your watch chain, bent a little ways back, letting your feet out in front.

"Good news, everybody."
