Thanks for the comments, Marcus. Well, this isn't about the TWiki per se so I changed the subject. I also don't understand why Robert keeps replying to messages sent to lists like bug-hurd yet sending the replies only to debian-hurd, but whatever. Now that you've changed the venue I'll follow along. The trouble with the GNU term is that GNU/Linux and GNU/Mach are terms being actively promoted. I feel the GNU term without either one is way to ambiguous for regular users. Also, did you look at the paragraph used at the (now) top of http://hurd.gnu.org as a reference? -- -- Grant Bowman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
