Well..., if that helps in the increase of Linux's Market Share, I'm with you. If not, it is least interesting what you call it. In my opinion, instead of confusing/scaring the potential user of the OS with such issues, why not keep it simple and catchy - Linux, for the masses;"GNU", "GNU/Linux", "Free" and what you want for the Gurus. As long as the OS serves its purpose, call it what you will. > I could switch from using Linux to something else tommorow, and > could care less.
