Arch is a variant of the GNU/Linux system, so please let's not call it "Arch Linux". Calling the whole system "Linux" is, in effect, giving Torvalds credit for our work, so we get no credit for it. See http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html and http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html, plus the history in http://www.gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html. Since Arch is a version of GNU/Linux, the right term is Arch GNU/Linux. If we mention it, what can we say about it? It is not a free system, so if we mention it, we should not present it as exemplary. See http://gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html for more explanation about this issue. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way! That's nonfree (freedom-denying) software.
