Apropos, Poc, apropos. That is exactly nothing short of the situation,
who's the Master. No thanks. 

And, it's the >demand< that we call "Linux" "GNU/Linux" is what drives
me to say "Linux". If for no other reason than being just plain being
ornery. The only reason the distros have caved is to just shut RHS the

always shall. Period. Ric
