The engine is important, but that engine needs oil, it needs water, and
gasoline/diesel to power it. That engine by itself is no good, without a
transmission that will move the tires. If the car has no tires, what good does
it do. The car needs good tires, if the car has a flat tire, you will move
nowhere :( Do you have a spare tire?
The car has an engine, with its transmission and it has tires, but it does not
have a battery :(? You can't go anywhere. In Mexico, they sell
batteries/accumuladores brand LTH and they say that it is "El Alma de tu
Automovil", the soul of your car., but it can't be because it is the engine :(
All the parts are equally important. Every single little thing is important.
The same applies in our beloved Fedora or other Linux system in which the linux
kernel is truly "the core of the Operating system". People decided to call it
Linux, yes it is not set in stone :(, but for me and for many here, Linux is
our preferred choice and that is how we are going to call it :)

Antonio
