GNU/Mach is not being promoted by anyone, and should not be used. There is GNU Mach--that is just the GNU distribution of Mach, similar to GNU Emacs, which is the GNU distribution of Emacs. There is GNU/Hurd, which is a variant of the GNU system that uses the Hurd (and currently Mach, though that may change someday) as its basis. It is also correct to call GNU/Hurd just by the name GNU. GNU/Linux is the variant of the GNU system that uses the Linux kernel. Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
