[ot] linux-dheli ? do you have a group for the kernel stuff or is a gnu-linux group?
No, it's not kernel only, it deals with the Linux Operating System. And no, it's not a GNU/Linux user group either. We choose to call the OS Linux, and we don't stop people from calling it GNU/Linux on the list or at meetings and events, if they so choose.
To clarify in advance, I'm not interested in participating in a discussion on the relative merits/demerits of OS names -- I've already said what I wanted to say on that topic many years ago on this list.
Anyway, I have to get back to composing my next e-mail to this list on some issue that I feel strongly about. How does "Indian Free Software Activist Needs Cash to Buy Car to Popularise Software Freedom" sound? I feel really strongly about that one, and I'm sure I can find some friends on this list who would support me (specially the ones who live nearby and hope to hitch rides).
