I agree with you, Jos. Also by calling the Operating System "GNU", we are giving the credit to the right people, who worked on the GNU project for a long period, instead of giving the credit to some one (Kernel part) who did comparatively very less. At-least, they will get equal mention by calling it GNU/Linux, which is also right. I believe that as the members of a Free Software Group (ILUG-Cochin), we are responsible to do so. Also that distinguishes us from others. - Ani
