  > GNU libc on Linux in 2008, it seems:

Since Linux is just the kernel, not the whole system,
this is not "on Linux".  In this case, GNU libc is running
on (and as part of) the GNU/Linux system.

Even when you're talking about a past bug, or a present bug, we still
deserve to get some of the credit when you talk about the GNU system.
So would you please call it "GNU/Linux", never just "Linux"?

See http://gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html and
http://gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html, plus the history in
http://gnu.org/gnu/the-gnu-project.html.
