Hmm... I tot this argument about the naming has been done and over with? The use of the name Linux is no longer about whose credit or that it is a name of a kernel. It has now moved on to using the name Linux as a marketing tool for the general public and that all innovations contributed to the viability of an operating system for public consumption is housed under the umbrella of a single name which happens to be called Linux.

You may not, but others may, because of the misleading? education =/? ? > which reminds me of : Rose by any other name would smell as sweet.? ? Just an excuse for Over-simplification. I can see you would just be as? happy as long as you have some machine to let you type all these and? post them here. Think about this, why bother calling it 'Yew Man Ni?
