Can I register a URL which includes the string "linux"?

I am not asking for legal advise but feel that some of you have some pretty good information on registering domain names.
So, as the title says, is it legal to register a website that has “linux” as part of the URL?
Thanks guys!

I am the registered owner of an internet domain which includes the term “Linux.” Do I need a sublicense?

The Linux Sublicense Agreement applies only to trademarks, but we recognize that internet domains are sometimes used as trademarks. If you are using your domain name as a trademark, then you will need a sublicense from the Linux Foundation. For help determining whether your domain is a trademark, see the questions and answers at the top of this FAQ page.
