Acronym Guide.
 
I'm new to Linux and these forums and I see a lot of Acronyms being used. Is there a FAQ that has some of the more common Acronyms and their definitions anywhere?

What do you mean by acronyms. Are you talking about Things Like GNU or imho.

There are times when you wonder if it's even worth having an acronym! ;)
