Your punishment: 1000 sentences:
Nexenta boxes are Debian/Nevada machines, they are not "Linux machines".

Pffft... everyone here understands what is meant, and it's a lot easier
than trying to describe,
closer to 'one of those types of machines that is based around
what is commonly called a "linux distribution", and/or
a Linux Standards Base compliant system in addition to adhering to
all the system-administration admin level issues, which may or may
not be specified in the LSB mentioned hereabove

[1] The other one is using "Linux Community" to refer to all users
and implementors of open-source and open operating systems --
