Sorry, but that is a really stupid way to gauge the |
| 7 |
importance of GNU. The GNU toolchain comprises the |
| 8 |
most important packages on your system, the required |
| 9 |
core packages of every Linux distro. They are the |
| 10 |
tools that made it possible for Linus to develop his |
| 11 |
kernel. Just because they happen to be outnumbered |
| 12 |
by Nethack clones, P2P clients, and photo gallery |
| 13 |
scripts, does NOT mean they should be marginalized. |
