"Gobuntu also has the problem that its name is so close to Ubuntu that people would get them confused. Practically speaking it is not feasible to recommend Gobuntu without recommending Ubuntu."
But you _do_ recommend _Linux_ even when "Torvalds' version of Linux is not free software"! And let me put this perfectly clear to you: Linus Torvalds develops _Linux_. Period. GNU/Linux means GNU (http://gnu.org/ packages, free software) and Linux (http://kernel.org/, non-free software). GNU promotes itself with a non-free software kernel, they don't even change one letter of it. Because _Linux_, is popular. Richard, in case you didn't know, _almost all_ Linux users (yes, I don't care if they run GNU or don't) run "Torvald's version" (also known as "Linux" because it is the official "version"). So you are not doing any good to them if you use the them "GNU/Linux", you're not sending a message to stop using Torvald's version which _is_ non-free software. I can see you trying to come with some argument to keep Linux (the registered trademark) as your flag, because you're nothing without it. Nothing. Face it. Real men don't depend on names nor mascots. Go promote gNewSense and remove any mention of Linux in stallman.org, fsf.org and gnu.org, because you, and the Free Software Foundation are _promoting_ (as in the dictionary entry) non-free software. So please, ask someone to change the "Free Software Free Society" message to remove this part: "Fortunately, people do not have to assent to these restrictions on their freedom. Instead, they can reject Microsoft Windows Vista in favor of a free software operating system, now widely used and available in a form called **GNU/Linux**." Here is the link: http://badvista.fsf.org/freesoftwarefreesociety/free-software-free-society/ If you don't have ethics, if you think in numbers, then you will mostly ignore this message with a childish argument. But if you do, start again, completely disassociate from the name "Linux", and clearly state in your Web sites (gnu.org, stallman.org, fsf.org) why you are doing that. _That_ would help free software users. Greetings!
