For your kind information, we do emphasize to our students that we are using the GNU system as and when applicable.
You are not using the GNU system, you are using a modified version of it. If you were using the GNU system, then you would just say "GNU" instead of GNU/Linux. But calling the whole user group as just GNU Linux User group would be misleading. It would be misleading to call it "GNU Linux User group", but not because of the reason you think of, Linux is not a GNU project, only GNU projects get called "GNU FOO". Ineither case, calling the GLUG for "Linux User Group" would be even more misleading, not to mention totally incorrect. Linux is only a kernel, a user group is intersted in a operating system, since a kernel is totally unusable without those tools. It is also incorrect since Linux is not a operating system, and it discredits the major contributor to GNU/Linux, the GNU project. The GNU project web page[0] has more (and better written) information on why calling GNU/Linux for "Linux" is disrespectful to all the contributors who did most of the work for GNU/Linux. Please reconsider changing the name. [0]: http://www.gnu.org _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list Bug-hurd@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
