The average systems admin who is running the os because of stability and security will not really care about software freedom.
It is really hard to say, I wouldn't generalize. Even if they really don't, we should teach them. Thats what advocates are for.
Having non free software in a GNU system kinda defeat the whole ideology right?
Yes, it does. But nothing is ever absolute. The main argument is, it is still a GNU/Linux based system despite not having 100% GNU stuff, unless otherwise (0% GNU).
I can safely bet that the naming won't change by the time this thread is done.
It is about changing individuals vocabulary, not a culture vocabulary. And to affect the culture, it takes time and effort. We are not asking the government to proclaim 'Linux' being "Changed" to 'GNU/Linux', in one =poof=. If everyone thinks like what you said, FSF would have vanished long ago. -- Lam YongXian Adolflam.com FSF Member #5279 Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
