Heh, true, but when I think about open source, I think of "developing". Hacking indicates a restricted device being unlocked or doing things that it was not meant to do. If this is the definition of hacking, installing Ubuntu on a brand-new machine is hacking.
it's the difference between "hacking" and "hacking on"
No it doesn't. Hacking meant something akin to "tinkering" long before it meant unauthorised compromise of a system.
You are saying exactly what I said in my first response.
