A lot of newbies especially aren't aware that Linux == UNIX, the
distinction is subtle, especially if you installed it 5 hours ago. 

I saw a few people getting confused by that, so I thought I'd clarify

The vast majority of people who use Wine and don't know what UNIX is,
are Linux users (because they are new). So, it made sense to choose that
as an example.
