&gt; &gt; ^^^^^^^^^
&gt; &gt; The only Linux distribution that claims to be GNU/Linux is Debian. I
&gt; &gt; believe that we should say something to the effect of:
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; high quality documentation for the Linux operating system and it's
&gt; &gt; derivatives??? or maybe just remove the GNU/Linux and say Linux.
&gt;
&gt; All Linux distributions are mostly GNU/Linux (there is some BSD
&gt; software thrown in there, but I don't think anyone will argue that it
&gt; amounts to much compared to GNU software).
&gt;
&gt; Debian just happen to be the only that acknowledge that. I think it
&gt; should stay.
Debian says GNU/linux because they are CURRENTLY using the linux kernel. If
you read their web site, it says that they are working on a version using
the GNU/Hurd kernel. Debian uses only GNU tools, IIRC, and trys to position
itself as the &quot;freest&quot; of the popular linux distros. In the interests of
accuracy, I believe that we either need to define this term, or to remove
the GNU/ in that sentence. Just tossing in my $0.02 USD.
