I think that’s awesome, that “home computing” brings the geeks to the public.
Torvald’s talks are …well …funny. I even like Bill Gates’s talks. He’s funny, too.

I like this intellectual “flame wars”.

I like this talks, and I hope you like it, too… whatever OS you use…. as long it’s a *nix .

SO TRUE!

ooh a fw phds huh? dr. torvalds lol

hey atleast he isnt a drop out like bill gates was

actually PNG stands for:
portable network graphic

Hell yeah!

yeah , Tux kick ***…Power to the people ,,, Linux FTW!

mrrotweiler2,
To whom were you referring?

Also, negative recursive acronyms are cool.

Correct. And certainly X was crucial. Hurd’s development has remained nearly stagnant since Linux’s conception simply because the FSF doesn’t care–after all, Torvalds licensed Linux under the GPL. I’d say GNU was more important, but I’m only annoyed that Linux is portrayed as the *only* component–with disregard for GNU and other software. Also, Revolution OS looks interesting–I’d never heard of it, so thanks.

Indeed.

The good old recursive acronyms. I too did not know about PNG meaning that.

I had no idea about PNG meaning PNG is Not GIF, but I knew about GNU is Not Unix.
Are there any more like those, such as WINE Is Not an Emulator?

anyone claiming that linux isn’t an operating system is clearly not that into computers. Linux incorporated his own kernel with the gnu programs. Though after discovering that those gnuprograms werent sufficent wrote his own programs (own isn’t realy true since he actually got help from thousands of people). Thus the gnu parts of linux were rewritten or replaced.

GNU means GNU is Not Unix, one of Stallman’s personal jokes on inheritance. Like PNG meaning PNG is Not GIF.

Yeah I have heard of Hurd. You mean the microkernel that is not production ready and has switched the possible kernel around numerous times and has yet to work properly?

In terms of claiming GNU is more important? Well that is more complicated. It was not just the GNU programs and the linux kernel that made it a good operating system. Apache, X Windows, samba and numerous other programs are what brought the bulk of the users.

Go watch revolution OS.

OS or not aside, hes a TRUE visionary compared to the overrated sad git that usually gets called that, guess WHO im referring to, btw 16k ram deff is NOT enough ^^

I think you misunderstood me: A) GNU would NOT have remained “simple tool programs”. Ever heard of Hurd? B) Torvalds WAS important; GNU was more. C) “We” did NOT name “the” OS after him.

sorry if Linus never took up the kernel project himself, gnu would remain simple tool programs. If Linus was not at all important then why did we all name the os after him?

Correct. But doesn’t Linus work at GNU?
I’m also rather annoyed over Linux being called a operating system. Then Mach is too.

Torvalds did NOT invent the Linux “operating system”.Linux is NOT an operating system; it is a kernel. The Gnu project contributed more code to the GNU/Linux operating system than Torvalds did. Linus Torvalds is pretty cool, though

ok that’s what i thought and thank you for taking the time and replying to my comment
