Looks like the FSF people are considering stopping to use the name "linux" as an OS name, and start using the distribution name, eg "slackware" or "debian" or "bogus". Seems like there is too much variation in the different subflavors of Linux to properly configure the system just knowing Linux is running. It is all in the initial, "kick it around" stages right now, so maybe it won't happen. I thought this forum would be amused by it, since they have had to deal with the NetBSD vs FreeBSD vs 386BSD vs BSDi for some time now. Warner
