Since the OS they set out to create was to be called GNU, so However, it *is* that OS. The name of the *kernel* has changed several times (I think originally it was going to be "Alix", after an old girlfriend of RMS's), but the overall OS was always going to be called GNU. That is why they get so snitty about referring to Linux as "GNU/Linux". In their minds the OS is GNU, and Linux (or Hurd) is just the kernel. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
