So if you want to be a bit lazy, it's acceptable to refer to GNU/Linux as "GNU", but not acceptable to refer to GNU/Linux as "Linux?" It would be the first time in history that one refers to a operating system by the name of a kernel. One does not call BSD using Mach for Mach, one calls it BSD. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
