From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

'should have' -- but didn't? What happened then?
I had that moment too but I think this is actually intended as "should keep bookmarked".
Yeah, I'm sure that was the intention; but the wording is off, so I wanted to take a little jibe at it.
It's prefectly reasonable to say "I have that site bookmarked".
Then go to "I should have that site bookmarked".
"I'll check on that one site I should have bookmarked"
Etc.
