quoting from www.gnu.org: "The GNU Project was launched in 1984 to develop a complete Unix-like operating system which is free software: the GNU system." a *complete* OS, this includes a kernel that belongs to the GNU project. GNU/Linux is not GNU and Linux doesn't belong to GNU. I can't explain myself why but i guess mr.Tordvals had a strong reason to start a separate project and divide our community. "Variants of the GNU operating system, which use the kernel Linux, are now widely used." GNU/Linux is a *variant*. Are you holding the existance of GNU/Linux is a mean to rename the real GNU project that has been with this name since its creation in 1984?
