Ahh. I suppose we could prepend all of the other IC
manufacturers into the pile too.. National, TI, Motorola, etc...
;o)

We'd have to say:

I'm running:

Intel/AMD/National/TI/Motorola/Samsung/ALi/AMI/GNU/BSD/Linux

... yikes... Sorries go to RMS, but I call Linux, "Linux".
That goes for kernel, dist, whatever. I mean after all I don't
call GCC, Linux/GCC, although it is GCC and it runs under Linux.

I do however pay my respects to RMS for his fine work, and
efforts though. Without which... we all know...

I don't feel obligated to say GNU/anything though. Next I'd be
expected to bow to a picture of our fearless leaders upon
entering my home. Maybe a national holiday, but no bowing...
;o)

Take care. TTYL
