I am sorry if my original post hurt some people in this list, but there is nothing in that post that "makes a joke" about RMS or even hints at making a joke about RMS. I'm all respect for the guy and I believe that his gcc is the greatest c/c++ compiler in the world -- I use it all the time and I please don't take my post as an act of ingratitude to him. What I do not understand is his over-insistence on the name GNU/Linux for the operating system that we all love. There's a lot of BSD code in Linux; Linux is almost always bundled with sendmail, apache, xfree86, perl, mozilla, kde, gnome, etc. But these entities don't insist that we call Linux by the name "GNU-BSD-Apache-Xfree-Perl-KDE-Etc-Linux". Is not the simple name "Linux" enough? No disrespect for RMS. Just asking. PMana _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
