But please don't confuse the public by using the name ``Linux'' ambiguously. Linux is the kernel, one of the essential major components of the system. The system as a whole is more or less the GNU system, with Linux added. When you're talking about this combination, please call it ``GNU/Linux''. is demanding? It all seems like a request (with a "please" even!) to me. > If that caused your brain to shut off, then I guess it must be a very > delicate "off switch." I didn't associate anything at all with Hitler > or Nazi Germany. You made a comparison involving Nazi Germany, which is the basis of Godwin's Law, no?
