far be it from me to ignore the great contribution of the amazing
Mr. Stallman to the world. I'm not sure how technology, the computer
business economy and as consequence the entire Wall street would have
thought and acted if it wasn't for the seeds he planted over 15 years
ago and still cultivates. I appreciate the man's work to no end, and
there's not even one drop of cynicism here.
BUT (and that's a big but) I have very strong opinions about the
Linux/GNUlinux tagging debate. if you wish to open the thing to
discussion I'll be happy to give you my brain dump on the matter, but I
don't want to drag this into an infinite discussion like the one we're
having here about M$ ans symlinks.
<cynicism alert>
that said, if you wish to get gnulinux.org.il and point it at
linux.org.il, I'm sure many cofused users will appreciate it.
