Re: make on Windows vs. GNU/Linux

[Richard Stallman]

While discussing how to use Emacs on Windows, please remember that
the other system you're contrasting it with is not Linux.

Linux by itself is not a complete system comparable to Windows.  Linux
is a kernel, one component of the system.  You must have in mind the
GNU/Linux system, which is a complete system comparable to Windows.

GNU is our work; to call the system "Linux" is to give the credit for
our work to someone who came later and did less.  So please call the
system "GNU/Linux" when you talk about it.  For more explanation, see
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html and
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html.

Thanks in advance for giving us credit.
