I can't agree more. In that view, would you agree to remove any mention to linux in the primary version? In respect to your previous message, and considering keeping any mention to linux, I would like to add that [1] uses "kernel linux" and not "kernel do linux". And spreading a popular but incorrect use (not technical correct, as you say) for the sake of the supposed readability (it does not increase the readability for a Portuguese speaker, IMO) and considering a novice (which should not be tainted by this notion that linux HAS a kernel, which is wrong, when, in fact, linux IS a kernel), I would rather teach it what is right than teach him wrong for the simple sake of popularity.
