What name do you prefer for our GLUG: a) Canterbury GNU/Linux Users Group (CGLUG) b) GNU/Linux Users Group of Waitaha/Canterbury (GLUGOWC) c) Other (please specify) _______________________________
<IMHO>
Other - I'm not strongly convinced that "GNU/Linux"[1] is actually the right thing to say. Changing the name of the group simply to get listed on a page doesn't sound like a very useful thing to me.
Perhaps RMS should ask Linus to make the kernel an FSF GNU project officially? Then the confusion would end.
Actually, most of what the list discusses is not Linux. The list discusses general unix/posix environemnt questions (i.e. how do I use "this command"), distribution-specific questions (In RedHat, how do I ...) and GUI things (in KDE, how do I ...). Yes, we do talk about building kernel modules, that's the only real "Linux" specific stuff we seem to do.
If the name became "GNU/Linux Users Group" we'd still spend our time discussing unix/posix environments and specific distributions, only now "half" the GUI questions would be on topic (GNOME) as well as the module stuff. Big hairy deal.
