"Arch Linux" is a misnomer, because the system is GNU/Linux. This is a variant of GNU/Linux, which they have decided to call "Arch". That makes it Arch GNU/Linux. That is what we should call it. It is fine to shorten it to "Arch" after the first use. It is unfortunate that the developers of Arch GNU/Linux persist in using the erroneous term "Arch Linux". So let's not repeat their error. There is no reason they should. Their error has no moral authority. If they are going to disregard our moral authority and call our system "Linux", they are hardly entitled to criticize us for correcting their error. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
