I myself prefer to call it GNU/Linux but never indulge in MS bashing or even call it M$. I don't think many people passionate about software freedom agree with many of Mr.Siddarth's views on that day. I certainly do not. Calling it as GNU/Linux is just an acknowledgement that Linux is just a kernel and not an Operating System and that GNU project has contributed a lot to that OS. Its unfair for GNU guys(not only for RMS, but to all those who works in that project) not call it that way. That in no way is associated with MS bashing. -- *அகிலன்* (Akilan R) (http://www.coding-aviator.blogspot.com) *I should have no use for a paradise in which I should be deprived of the right to prefer hell.* --Jean Rostand _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
