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.

True, I just don't think the concept of Spiral Linux is revolutionary.
Was anyone saying that?
Yes, whoever wrote the word "finally" in the title of this post was saying that.
I am not sure you understand what finally means. It is saying that what has been attempted before has been successfully done now. There is no implication of "revolutionary", but tather iteration.
