A nice resource would be GNU/Linux faq.
i guess that's the last word in that discussion :-)
i raised these doubts because i couldnt understand the FAQ. That clearly talks of the GNU operating system. Now you say it is not an operating system. As far as I can see, it is a set of tools and not an operating system. And I find this pleading for credit pathetic. You write software, tools, whatever. People use them. They become popular. You become famous. Somthing overshadows what you did. People stop praising you and start praising that something. Hard luck. It happens - no point moaning about it and pleading for credit. The world is not about what you do, but about who did it at the right time and in the right place. For the same reason that photostating machines are called Xerox machines.
