What about GNU *core*utils? :-P :-D And then, again, what if you remove Linux, install kFreeBSD or OpenSolaris in its stead, rebuild glibc to export the same ABI but use the system calls of the new kernel, and reboot? How come that would still be Linux? Do you mean core as in the core of an apple, as in, that part pretty much nobody is interested in, but without which apples would have a harder time reproducing? :-) BTW, would you call an apple a seed, just because it has seeds in its core? -- Alexandre Oliva http://www.lsd.ic.unicamp.br/~oliva/ Free Software Evangelist oliva@{lsd.ic.unicamp.br, gnu.org} FSFLA Board Member ¡Sé Libre! => http://www.fsfla.org/ Red Hat Compiler Engineer aoliva@{redhat.com, gcc.gnu.org} -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
