Calling it simply "Debian GNU" will confuse the hell out of a lot of people. "Debian GNU/Hurd" will give it a better and more distinguishable identity.
GNU and GNU/Hurd are two names for the same system; the latter name emphasizes the fact that the kernel is the Hurd. It is useful to emphasize that when making a contrast with GNU/Linux. In this context, we want to make that emphasis. PS I may have been dreaming, but I'm pretty sure I read messages on this list some time ago that implied that "Debian GNU/Hurd" had already been decided on as the official name. Yes, that is its official name, and the reason is that this is a place where it is useful to make the contrast with GNU/Linux. _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
