I was actually thinking about all the possibilities the Porygon line has
>Porygon 3
>Porygon 2.2, an alternate evolution for Porygon with different stats/function
>Porygon 3.Gento, a free upgrade developed to let trainers have another option other than what Silph Co. Porygon 3.Gento is in fact, GNU/Porygon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Porygon. Porygon is not an independent Pokémon unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
>Many Porygon Pokémon trainer run a modified version of the Porygon system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Porygon 3.Gento", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
>There really is a Porygon, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Porygon is
normally used in combination with the Porygon Z operating system, which malfunctions: but the Porygon .Gento is basically GNU with Porygon added, or GNU/Porygon. All the so-called "Porygon 3/Gento" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Porygon.
