The TUNES Glossary

"When words are unfit, speech is unadapted and actions are unsuccessful"
-- Confucius

Beware: this page is under perpetual construction (mind the Tunes Warnings...)
This glossary tries to explain the actual meaning of words related to the world of computers and operating systems, beyond slogans and myths. When multiple meanings exist, it explains which is used in the Tunes project.
Because this document is politically pledged (computer-wise), partiality may have involuntarily slipped in it many times; please report the inexactitude, confusion, and misguiding style that you will no doubt find in it.
Please also note that some project members have expressed reservations about some definitions given for some words with political connotations that exceed the computer world.
