And where would GNU be if it weren't for Linux? I remember gcc and glibc before Linux came along (and then there was RMS's ugly "lignux" renaming attempt). There's a large chunk of GNU software that has received significan benefit from the Linux community. A Linux kernel with only software from GNU (as implied by the name "GNU/Linux") would be pretty useless, so ignoring all the other software that goes into making a useful OS is also rude. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
