Ubuntu GNU/Linux.

Sometimes Cononical refers to Ubuntu as Ubuntu Linux, and other people more...

Linux is only the kernel of the OS, the complete OS is named GNU/Linux.

Ubuntu as son of Debian GNU/Linux, must use GNU/Linux in its name.

It's GNU/Linux, dammit....

There are lots of other distros (both commertial and community mantained) that doesn't stick the "GNU/Linux" in the middle of the name. It's too long, it's counter-intuitive, and it's hard to pronounce. Ubuntu should keep it simple on that issue.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 15:55:09 +0000 A simple 'Ubuntu' is the best name.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 16:08:27 +0000 Fri, 29 Feb 2008 19:40:59 +0000 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 04:32:54 +0000 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 04:34:31 +0000 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 07:17:45 +0000 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 17:28:40 +0000 Sat, 01 Mar 2008 19:49:15 +0000 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 19:31:48 +0000 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 19:06:03 +0000 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 21:02:01 +0000
FYI: Richard Stallman did way more work on the GNU/Linux OS than Torvalds did. Even according to Torvalds, "I'm basically a very lazy person who likes to get credit for things other people actually do." Torvalds is the social engineer, and Stallman is the programming genius. Torvalds knows how to get people to do what he wants and contribute to his software. Stallman on the other hand, doesn't really understand that piece. Stallman is the programmer and philosopher, and Torvalds is the figurehead. Period.



This is by no mean the place the place for that kind of debate. Brainstorm is meant to be used for productive and constructive purposes, neither of which are served by you comment.

As for the idea, voted down for irrelevance. Sorry.]]> Mon, 24 Mar 2008 04:46:36 +0000 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 19:45:02 +0000
Saying GNU preserves the freedom!

"When I [have people call it GNU/Linux], some people think that it's because I want my ego to be fed, right? Of course, I'm not asking you to call it 'Stallmanix'!"
