You can put what ever you want there. that was the first place i looked, but it's not where the GNU comes from :) but bob pointed to /etc/issue, where it did. > What's so offensive about "GNU/Linux"? The politics of it :) The general idea behind it is something like "The contributions of GNU are almost/as/more important than linux, which is just the kernel, and GNU should get credit; there would be no system without gnu, etc." frankly, I prefer the BSD utilities, and dislike nearly everything all of the gnu changes: excessively long option names, info/hostility to man, etc. And i generally prefer the way the bsd versions operate on those where i've noticed a difference. But it comes down to "GNU/Linux" being a political statement, and one that I disagree with. rick --
