Okay, then what is an operating system? The Gospel of Tux defines it as the Kernel, the Libraries, and the Utilities, but it seems hard to tell which are part of GNU and which are merely free software distributed by the FSF and capable of executing on a GNU system. > That page includes the *list* of GNU software packages.

TeX and X are not released under the aegis of the GNU Project, but http://www.gnu.org/gnu/thegnuproject.html says they are part of the GNU system. I'm just wondering if there exists a formally blessed enumeration of the parts of GNU. -- John Cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am a member of a civilization. --David Brin
