Even as a software developer who spends a good percentage of his time working on Debian-based machines, and a former president of a computing society for 6 years, I would have to say: Boy, that's pretty nerdy for you to even bringing this up, let alone correcting the poor guy for a fact that most people in the industry don't even care about. You must be real fun at parties. I imagine you're the kind of person who halts dinner conversation to inform people that the parmesan the chef has offered is actually just a hard Italian cheese due to the fact it's from the wrong region of Italy. (I'm just joshing you: some of my best friends from uni would argue into the night about GNU and it's importance in Linux, but I was too busy playing videogames and having fun).
LMAO, It's just rms copy pasta. Personally I'm looking forward to when theirs a fully fledged Linux OS that doesn't use anything from the GNU project because Richard is an arrogant old luddite and it'd be nice to throw that back in his and his followers faces everytime they over react to the word "linux". Speaking of University societies. Are there really societies for everything? I wouldn't mind giving up one night a week for some D&D.
