Actually, to take your point all the way, the proper name |
| 23 |
is whatever the hell they want to call it. Gentoo, |

Gentoo Linux, or whatever else one might come up with. |

As long as I'm posting on this again, I'd like to comment |
| 27 |
on the earlier posts that "all this is over two lines". |
| 28 |
It's not. Those two lines carry with it everything he's |
| 29 |
said about this topic in other forums. Including his |
| 30 |
abrasive insistance that anyone he does an interview |
| 31 |
with call it GNU/linux while talking to him, and his |
| 32 |
posts on other mailing lists and forums and the GNU |
| 33 |
website about this same topic. |
