as said earlier, only those who believe in the free software movement will be pushing for the naming of GNU/linux. The average systems admin who is running the os because of stability and security will not really care about software freedom. For them, running linux is just something that is part of the job or because someone higher up in the company says so. Whether you call it donkeylinux or realultimateos doesn't matter, they won't give a damn. With all due respect to the free software group, their effort is commendable.
second thing i will like to mention is that there are a lot of distros out there that include non free software. Is the GNU group willing to let their name be tagged to such a distro? Won't it go against your very ideals if a distro call themselves GNU/linux and yet not represent your ideals? If you ask me, i personally feel that only pure free software distros deserve to have the GNU title tagged to it. Having non free software in a GNU system kinda defeat the whole ideology right? the very reason why this os is still call linux is because no one else bother about the naming besides the people from GNU. I can safely bet that the naming won't change by the time this thread is done. _______________________________________________ Slugnet mailing list [email protected] http://www.lugs.org.sg/mailman/listinfo/slugnet
