Meaning that John Hasler was saying that GNU Emacs shouldn't follow a UNIX Philosophy because GNU's Not UNIX. I was saying that Linux != GNU, and as this is a Debian list, most of us probably use GNU Emacs on Linux. Also, although GNU Emacs was written by GNU and GNU's Not UNIX, I think (someone correct me if I'm wrong here) it was originally written for UNIX. - -- Many thanks Harry Rickards (a.k.a l33tmyst) - -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GAT/GCM/GCS/GCC/GIT/GM d? s: a?
