Well, If you remove GNU from 'Linux', Eventually everyone will forget theI just checked Fedora and openSUSE home pages, they call their distro
as a 'Linux-based' operating system. Thats 2 of the top 3 distros.
While we are at this topic, I wonder what people will say for Ubuntu.
IMO, the world as we know it, is slowly forgetting the word 'Linux'
(accept it or not, apart from RMS fanboys, nobody says GNU/Linux) and
moving to call it as 'Ubuntu'.
