Thank you for letting us know about your GNU/Linux Users Group; you have
been added to our listing. Looking at your web site, you seem to be fairly
well-established. It is exciting to see such good work being done to
promote GNU/Linux, and we congratulate you on all your efforts.

I did notice that, throughout the website, you talk about several products,
mailing lists, and the like which, unfortunately, do not call the system
GNU/Linux. Obviously, you do not want to confuse people by calling the
distribution "Red Hat GNU/Linux," but there is a way you can correct their
mistake without creating such confusion: if you surround the "GNU/" part in
brackets, people will understand that it is an editorial addition, like so:
"Red Hat [GNU/]Linux." You can do this any time someone or some group
mistakenly calls the system "Linux," and you may want to consider doing so
on your web site.

That said, the Free Software Foundation is always interested in working
with GNU/Linux Users Groups; if you are interested in such a cooperative
effort, do not hesitate to let me know. Good luck on all your endeavors,
