Hi all,
The primary source of the name [GNU/]Linux is the projects
which
use them.And that includes us.
So,in order to get the importance of GNU to the users i
propose
the following actions.
1.Urge the developers to use GNU/Linux (in websites/documentation/Code etc.).
2.Get involved and do a few corrections yourself.
3.If you work for a company,which uses [GNU/]Linux,get the
word to
your marketing department.
Further suggestions awaited.
Can we come up with a comprehensive list.

Kanti
Hello, I think that the first point is very important. We must urge developers to develop on the GNU/Linux platform.
Use GNU/Linux and not Linux
One more point: Spread the FREE Software Philosophy to the people and tell people that GNU/Linux is not only an $ saving solution to software problems but also an OS that respects your freedom. Many people don't understand that.
A lot of people do understand and just ignore. These are the people who gain the benefits of free software and refuse to recognize its importance.
And for those who really are unaware(growing day by day),we must come up with a concrete action. That is why i proposed a comprehensive list of actions.

Kanti

Have been doing the some of the things above from quite some time.
Do you think any request to Red Hat to change the name of
their
distro to Red Hat GNU/Linux will work? We can try that as it is the most popular distro and the name
can
reach many people.
