The construct "Linux kernel" is very ambigous because it's not clear if
it means "the kernel known as Linux" or "the kernel of Linux". Some
people missinterpret it as "the kernel of Linux", leading to the
long-standing confusion you probably heard about (but I'll paste
a link anyway, for the sake of everyone else ;-)):
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html
But I agree it should be capitalized. Please make that "Load Linux.".

For consistency, these could read "Load XNU.". If that's too confusing,
maybe "Load XNU (kernel of Darwin)" or something like that. Vladimir what
do you think?
