<devil's advocate> Since the vast majority of problems encountered (by the general populous) are not actually with the Kernel, wouldn't it be more advisable therefore the rename the LUG a GUG? A GNU-User Group? Where should it stop? Should I recommend to the LPI that, since the majority of issues covered in their repertoire of questions are to do with applications written by GNU/FSF and that only a small percentage of it actually covers the Linux kernel, should it not be renamed the GNU Professional Institute? </devil's advocate>
The kernel is required before the GNU code can be used, so it deserves a mention. Other contributors are also involved in GNU/Linux and they can't all be mentioned (this is described in full on the FSF site) http://www.fsf.org/gnu/why-gnu-linux.html http://www.fsf.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html#justgnu http://www.fsf.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html#many -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk/ http://www.dclug.org.uk/ http://www.isbn.org.uk/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/isbnsearch/ http://www.biglumber.com/x/web?qs=0x8801094A28BCB3E3
