I do think he does exalt himself with the "GNU/Linux" thing, and I don't use it. I don't use "GNU/Solaris" or "GNU/BSD" either, though I have used GNU software on both Solaris and *BSD. "GNU/Linux" strikes me as a point of pride thing, and takes away more from RMS than it adds. My opinion, not so angry. *shrug* > Stallman's genius was to be the source for all that followed -- the Itasca > of the Free Software / Open Source movement, and he will always have my > admiration.
