It's also the name used by distributions, which contain hundreds of packages that are _not_ the kernel. This is why I mentioned distributions in my previous reply. > The command environment used by > Linux distributions is mostly GNU. The part I'm sticking on is the word "mostly." If the assertion here is that the definition of /usr/gnu put forward is in fact sufficient to satisfy the needs of Linux refugees arriving on Solaris shores, then I'm rather surprised, but I'll reluctantly go along with the proposal. If that's not the assertion, and if all we're building is an FSF-purist garden, then I fail to see the point. Linux users will be offered a bewildering array of /usr/gnu, /usr/schilly, /usr/moz, /usr/expat, and others. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
