This is ideological. how is it The Right Thing? GNU is free software, you can take it a release under ANY name you wish, that's what GPL is for (among other things). pretending that calling it GNU/Linux is somehow logical or "right" is just ridiculous, offending even. (yes, it makes some sense to request it on basis of getting recognition for GNU but that's a bit different (and definitely does not make it The Right Thing, at most it's 'a nice thing to do')) erik
