<div class="im">> Remember, he is a GNU founder, not a Linux founder. There is a difference.<br>
<br>
</div>Actually RMS doesn't like the name Linux, and he wants the operating<br>
system to be called "GNU/Linux" or "GNU+Linux" and not Linux. I<br>
attended an open source conference in 2002 when he attended, and he<br>
spoke about it. Personally I think it's a lost battle, and Linux is a<br>
good name for the operating system. Especially when there are<br>
operating systems such as Red Hat Linux, Debian and Ubuntu, adding the<br>
name "GNU/Linux" to them would be too long and confusing.<br>
<br>
P.S. I searched "linux" in Google and found out that the title on<br>
<a href="http://www.debian.org" target="_blank">www.debian.org</a> is "Debian GNU/Linux". RMS' battle for GNU/Linux is<br>
not completely in vain.<br>
