I just witnessed this flamewar on another mailinglist, and one of the |

better comments about this whole mess was that it's quite interesting |

My personal opinions? It may be GNU tools, but the barebones are |
| 17 |
Linux. I may not call Windows 'KRNL32.DLL', but I don't call it |

'Visual C++' either. Perhaps the answer to what I'm running on this |
| 19 |
machine is neither 'GNU/Linux' or 'Linux', but 'KDE'. |
