Subtle noise is over used IMO. And this is print design, so once it's printed it won't really add anything, it might even make it look like it's been printed badly.

You'll have to do manual kerning. Users don't seem to care about it, but lots of designers are crazy about typography, so if you want your works to be liked by designers, add some sugar for them too ;) I've attached a comparison of your current "linux" word and the same word with manual kerning, so you can decide for yourself if you need manual kerning or not.
