Re: [gentoo-dev] Dist name...

[Matthew Kennedy]

This is just my own opinion as a user...

It really does matter to some, including myself. I direct you to the
Debian mail archives for the reasons why "GNU/" is correct :-) Plus it
would be cool if newbies stopped asking me "Where can I download Linux
7.3?" and getting my stock, but confusing response, "You can get Linux
from ftp.kernel.org"

Besides... it's possible portage might be portable to other
architectures, maybe including Hurd etc. later on. What then? Is it
really that Linux-specific then?
