I am more concerned about the moral issues, though. > So GNU/FreeBSD for the kfreebsd port Thanks to the people involved in development of this port one day I'll be able to install on my old Alpha not only a GNU system, but the system I am familiar with -- Debian.

I agree, it is a GNU system, hence the name -- GNU/Linux (with a piece of deserved credit to Linus). Calling it only "Debian" is fine as well. -- Yavor Doganov JID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Free Software Association - Bulgaria http://fsa-bg.org GNOME in Bulgarian! http://gnome.cult.bg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
