GNU/Linux _is_ a GNU system, no matter what we do we will never be vastly different to warrent anyone to switch over just because it is GNU. If we can be different, I'd like to hear those ideas with a explanation why it cannot be added to Linux, Solaris, ...
I can tell you what is my idea about this. My interest in having a GNU kernel for the GNU operating system has nothing to do with technical aspects, but with polithics. The Linux development is managed by a person who doesnt agree with the ideals of the free software movement. I cannot trust that person. AFAIK the copyright holder for Solaris is SUN. I cannot trust that company. Linux is released under the terms of the GPL version 2, and it seems that the Solaris kernel will be released under the terms of the GPL version 3. That is: free kernels. But the FSF may need to write a new version of the GPL in the future to face new problems. Will torvalds or SUN switch to that new license?
