I recently saw a study showing that a standard linux install has comparatively little GNU in it, if you count only FSF stuff. Other people using GPL for their code doesn't make it GNU. Without Linux, GNU would still just be something you add to your Sun box. -- Christopher Vance -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
