Debian? Ubuntu? Sidux? Pardus? Mepis? Gentoo? Whoa! Why are these Linux distros so strangely named? Why not name a OS simply – door, room or window? Although, Linux distros have very strange names but it is interesting to know, why they are called so?

From the OS platform statistics at w3schools, we can see that as of August, 2008 only 3.9 percent belongs to Linux. Whereas, Vista’s users are 12.5 percent. Vista manages to pull off 5.2 percent increase in last 8 months compared to Linux’s meager 0.3 percent. So, why is the penguin is crawling?
