I know this is a sensitive topic but can we focus on the discussion and _not_ on the terminology? You and I ( and everyone on this list knows ) that: Rony's GNU == GNU/Linux My Linux == GNU/Linux Anybody else's Linux == GNU/Linux So it means the _same_ thing. Lets not take this thread more OT, shall we? Oh yes and I'm a hypocrite to take this thread OT in the first place ;-) Rony, Linux depends very little on the BIOSes to tell it what hardware it has. AFAIK it depends on the BIOS only for bootstrapping. Everything else is taken care by the kernel. And yes, there are a lot of retarded BIOSes compiled using the MS compiler but then we can't help it. ACPI support sucks on most machines because of such BIOSes but then we have to work around it and thats exactly what Linux attempts to do. -- Regards, Dinesh A.
