No, he insists that the *operating* *system* is called GNU/Linux, as it comprises of the Linux kernel and the GNU userspace libraries and toolset. That is what constitutes an operating system, and GNU's role in the creation of this software - nor in the maintenance of the Linux kernel, as the Linux developers *use* GNU tools for their development - this should not be discarded. Nitpick, Linux uses and was developed on the GNU operating system, not just a bunch of tools and libraries. Nice retort though! _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
