AFAIK "Uncompressing" is not a real word even in American.
Please apply this correction.

Depends how you parse it. With uncompress-ing, the word "uncompress" is
actually a pronoun -- it is the name of the traditional uncompress
program. Being a name, it does not have to be a real word. :-)
Now really, the kernel is not "compress"-ed per se, it's "zipped".
So may I suggest:
Unzipping linux.... done <grin>
cheers,

Sure it is, on the grounds of established usage, and on the grounds
of reasonable analogies (undo, unwrap, &c).

Ah, I guess there are two categories of hacker. Those that see innuendo
wherever they look and those that don't ;-)

Hi!
I think I'll vote for your (redundancy) version.
Anyone setting up a "web voter" for first Linux message?
