Then let's call it KDE/GNU/Linux. :-)

Did you know:
* excluding game data (nexuiz-data, vegastrike-data, openarena, 
alienarena-data), the largest Fedora package is a KDE package 
(kdelibs-apidocs)?
* out of the 40 largest packages (and that includes game data), 5 are KDE or 
related packages (kdelibs-apidocs, qt-doc, digikam-doc, kdebase-workspace, 
kdeedu)?
* excluding game data (nexuiz-data, vegastrike-data, openarena), the largest 
Fedora SRPM is a KDE package (kde-i18n)?
* out of the 50 largest SRPMs (and that includes game data), 9 are KDE or 
related packages (kde-i18n, kde-l10n, qt, koffice, koffice-langpack, 
digikam-doc, kdeedu, kdebase-runtime, kdebase-workspace)?
