@JaredBusch

I'm intent on you a SAM correcting the 3 Authors I quoted and let's see how that goes.

Usually SAM won't chime in at this point, I've asked you 2 to Directly Correct their Statements on the Kernel vs OS.

Please do so as I've asked

@JaredBusch
Then email the 3 references I posted and tell them it's not an OS and have them correct thier postings.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_(operating_system)

SAM you yourself said it's an "Out of the box working FTP server" yes?

So does a Kernel do that or an OS? I'm confused?

Also
I'd expect you'd correct the 3 references ASAP that I mentioned or I'll refer this thread to their attention that you are calling them ignorant.

@scottalanmiller
Did I say something about certify? No, and yes you have to be certified to work as a tech on Cannon, Richo, Etc..
Just like Dell and HP etc....
