sure - I call it linux - what do you think?
I don't want to share what i think because i do *not* want to hijack this
thread and
start another flame war debating which way is correct.
Don't impose your views.
I did not impose my views - I expressed my views - why don't you express
yours?
Of course you were imposing your views!
I'm saying even expressing that is not correct in this scenario because
nobody was
discussing about *that topic* and your views were unnecessary noise!
It is your right to express your view in a public mailing list of which you
were a member
if that is *relevant* to the topic.
If someone had said 'App Y didn't work in Debian GNU/Linux' you are free to
reply 'Such
a such bug exists in Debian Linux'. (This is what Sibi did in the first
place! he just called
it GNU/Linux and did not demand that the OP should call it Linux) But
instead you hijacked
the thread and demanded Sibi to call it Linux.
You are welcome to _express_ your views regarding naming issues in the
appropriate thread.
Please respect list guidelines and do not hijack threads.
PS: I request fellow members not to reply to that thread because we already
had enough flame wars
and have heard KG's views infinite number of times. Another flame is
unnecessary IMHO.
