Mmm, I realise that. I think you missed my point. Personally, I don't care what they call it, but Mr Stallman has a long history of caring very much that Linux have GNU added to the front. Given this, why is he not concerned when people start playing around with vowels? Would GNE/Linux be OK? I think that in order to recognise the joint contribution of GNU and Linux, I'll start running GNI/Lunix, because "We are the *nix who say gni." -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
