+1 (I agree), this is mostly because there is no single "Linux", every GNU+Linux system distribution has different goals, different community rules, views, software freedom status, and so on. It's like clothing, some fit and some don't. When someone says that they're using "Linux", that tells nothing both in terms of which distro and if that distro's project is committed to support only free/libre software or not. Historically, and as is still today, it's common for distro projects to combine tools from the GNU project together with Linux (kernel), or to depend on some tools from GNU in order to make the kernel or some other package. Linux (kernel) isn't the user-friendly or full-featured thing we know about if we name it alone --- for example in phrases such as "I use Linux" ---, so one can address the "set" of default packages in a given distro by calling the distro's name --- /e.g.:/ "I use Trisquel" (which is true by the way, :D) --- this should give credit to: GNU project (if the distro uses or provides its software), Linux (assuming this is the default kernel used), and all the people that contributed and also those which sill contribute to the distro. > Whatever distro you choose, use their forums for help on your specific > problem. They’ll be able to provide more tailored assistance. +1 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
