Not to mention: http://directory.fsf.org/project/reactOS/ - "ReactOS is a project to create a free operating system that is compatible with Windows NT so users can have access to a free operating system but still run their favorite Windows PC programs and drivers." http://directory.fsf.org/project/Windows32API/ - "It is a set of header files and import libraries that can be used by GNU tools for compiling and linking programs to be run under operating systems supporting the Win32 Application Programming Interface. " http://directory.fsf.org/project/gtmess/ - "gtmess is a console MSN Messenger client for GNU/Linux and other systems that conform to the POSIX standard. It supports the MSNP9 protocol version." http://directory.fsf.org/project/macssh/ "...This is a Macintosh version for SSH." http://directory.fsf.org/project/djgpp/ "Complete 32-bit C/C++ development system for Intel 80386 (and higher) PCs running DOS." Etc. etc. etc. - it's all over the place. If the cygwin stuff (dunno if it is or not) is merged into the main source repository, then we can assume that virtually every piece of GNU code has been designed to work with windows, so it can't be recommended. Thus does the revolution devour its children. Given the plain weirdness of the arguments "Richard Stallman" has been making, maybe we should consider the possibility that we've been had by an impostor trying to get a rise out of the OBSD crowd. ;) If not, then the interesting question is, why is he doing this, really? All the pronouncements about freedom, and the Important Life Lessons about how mentioning a thing is tantamount to endorsing it - it just doesn't add up, it's too silly. I wonder what the real agenda is. -gregg
