I personally prefer to call the system GNU/Linux, will continue to call it so (when referring to the system as a whole and not to the kernel) but I feel that such discussion is Off Topic for this mailing list. Although I'm violating my intention not to pollute linux-kernel any more than it is already, I feel that your conclusion is a bit too far fetched. Besides, I don't think all contributors to the GNU project and all the persons which call the system GNU/Linux are subscribed to this mailing list. bye, andrea -- Andrea Glorioso andrea.glorioso@binary-only.com Binary Only http://www.binary-only.com/ Via A.
