 * Lead should be expanded to have three decent sized paragraphs.
 * Citations should be placed per WP:CITE.
 * Explain GNU before using it.
 * Don't squeeze text between images, per WP:MOS.
 * Image captions shouldn't have periods if the captions are fragments.
 * Many sections have no citations whatsoever.
 * Embedded devices section et seq need references.
 * However... seven citations for one claim?! (44 thru 50)
 * see also templates are typically used at the top of sections.
 * Are 15 or so "See also" links really necessary?
 * Try to use cite web for the citations.

 * It is mentioned early that Richard Stallman heads the Free Software Foundation. Then, later, it is mentioned "Torvalds continues to direct the development of the kernel. Stallman heads the Free Software Foundation, which in turn supports the GNU components".  In the later mention, I think it should be "Stallman continues to head the Free Software Foundation...."
 * The One Laptop Per Child program is mentioned as if it is all going to be Linux (which it was), but the recent announcement of a Windows version or dual boot / double version or whatever has changed that. So that passage should be updated accordingly.
 * Fixed. ff m  15:03, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
