Its very simple. There are ten commandments just in case you didn't know.
1) Grow your hair, the longer the better.
2) Water is only for drinking. Never use it for any other external use
3) Toothbrush is the instrument of M$. Besides the ingredients used in a
toothpaste is closed source. Avoid it all costs.
4) Donate all money to the nice memebers of ILUGC.
5) Shaving blade destroys environment. Don't shave.
6) Food and Code are analogues, Reuse and share both profusely.
7) In the morning the first thing to do after opening your eyeys is to
recite the Stallman GNU song
8) If you hand ever touch a windows machine. Immediately free the machine of
the M$. Pop in you GNU/Linux CD and reinstall the machine. This is the only
redemption for such a mortal sin. Watch the face of the owner of the machine
as he realises the redemption of his mahcine. The expression you can bet
will be priceless.
9) Start swearing along the along the lines of
Holy Emacs!!
Holy Vi/Vim !! (Depends on your preference)
10) Finally the last and the foremost thing of them all...
Plain speak shall you speak. Never close source your mind. Be open.
Follow theese ten rules and no time you shall be indoctrined in the
reiligion of being a GNU'er. Remember you are the shiny example for others,
looking at you people will embrace your new faith.
I wish you luck.
Peace
Zameer A.

hi all,
Was wondering if GNU was an officially accepted religion. If yes, how
does conversion take place? if not how do I make GNU an accepted
religion?
Thanks,

I don't think so. Vim is non-free, AFAIK. The author wants you to donate
money to some junta in Uganda, to keep vim "free". Hence, if you swear by
vim, you are not likely to be accepted as a saint of the GNU.
