[GNUz] GNUz Digest, Vol 11, Issue 13

[Jaco van der Merwe]

Mr.Stallman,

I understand your frustration around the exclusion of the term "GNU" when people refer to Linux (in the current incarnations).

Do you think you may get a better adoption of the term is we can refer to the system(s) as "Glinux" to indicate the GNU-version (aka 'libre') & as "Linux" when referring to distro's that include 3rd (often proprietary) components?
"GNU-Linux" doesn't roll of the tongue as easily (and is prone to more typo's)

- Jaco
