Re: it's not GNU/Linux; it's GNURe: it's not GNU/Linux; it's GNUPosted Jun 11, 2002 15:12 UTC (Tue) by frew (guest, #482)Parent article: Re: it's not GNU/Linux; it's GNU I definitly agree with RMS. They made all those basic but necisary things on your system. I mean, some people say that it is taking gnu forever to come out with hurd but from my understanding that isn't their fault but the fault of the people who make the Mach kernel. From what I gather Mach was promised to be made open a long time ago and still isn't. Plus what license is linux under? It's the GPL. Who made the GPL? GNU. Let's say you were to remove all the gnu software from your computer. No GCC so all your programs need to be precompiled. No glibc so you would probably have to have a lot of static linking (is that the right word?) No more bash and other shell tools. You may not use some of those tools but lets say you use a GUI configuration tool that uses m4 for configuring things. Nope. Sorry. m4 is GNU. Lets say you like making pictures with that cool paint program called gimp...nope, its gnu. How about that one desktop environment...whats it called? Oh yeah! Gnome...hmmm. OK lets say your just a normal use who doesn't need any of that and just want to do basic word prcessing and stuff. You look at the clock to see the time....oh wait....date is a gnu utility. I think I'm done ranting now. =)
