they don't even know it is the Linux version or kernel version they must be targetting.

Not really.. there are a whole bunch of system type libraries that you'll need in order to compile that application that aren't part of the kernel (plus whatever run-time libs you need). Specifying a distro gets you a bit closer to having the set of packages that you'll need to install and run and application. The kernel is only part of the story.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
