Ah, that makes sense. Tell yourself that the term "nix" is commonly used 
to refer to Linux. Having never used Nix myself (because it is run by 
rabid leftists), I wasn't aware that they decided to take control of the 
term for themselves. How very Communist of them to take something that 
doesn't belong to them.
