You put it the right wayYou put it the right wayPosted Oct 24, 2006 19:17 UTC (Tue) by niner (subscriber, #26151)In reply to: {GNU/,}Linux naming by guinan Parent article: GPLv3: What the Hackers Said (Linux Journal)
I think the whole naming issue is taken far too seriously. Yes I acknowledge that the GNU stuff is a very important piece of my system, sure not less important than the kernel or the X window System and KDE desktop.
But when talking to my father or a colleague at work, I for sure won't say "GNU slash Linux" all the time, am I crazy? "Linux" is short, cool and sexy and everybody knows that the whole distribution is meant.
The only usable alternative would be to call it SUSE and my colleagues' system kubuntu. These names would be even more precise than GNU/Linux but again would only give one participating party credit.
