That's hypocrisy.

"i386-redhat-linux", eh? On S.u.S.E.? Debian? Stampede? Pacific Hi-Tech?
None of which are sufficiently different to require a different canonical
triplet. So all of them would end up being identified as "redhat"... and I
fail to see how identifying other Linux distributions as Red Hat (or Red Hat
wannabees) differs from your complaint about "GNU/Linux".

     We are Linux. Resistance is an indication that you missed the point.
