I am a relatively new user (about six months) in BR. I now it's popular to call this kind of user group a LUG, but was wondering why you have chosen to neglect the GNU operating system in naming the group. I chose GNU/Linux because of freedom, not it's ability to overthrow M1cr0s0ft, albeit a desire I have. The kernel is not to be neglected, but I'd rather not refer to an operating system by it's kernel.
Without Linux, GNU would not have solidified as quickly as it did. But GNU stands for GNU's Not Unix, an operating system. Linux, originally intended to be a complete operating system better than Minix and Unix, is now only a kernel for the GNU operating system, accounting for a small percentage of the distro code. Venting and asking if we could do anything about it. -- Adam J. Hogan
