[Fsfe-uk] Re:GNU/Linux, Linux Divide

[John Seago]

I don't see a problem with teaching the public what the term GNU/Linux 
means. I have had a second hand computer, under sufferance for only 2.5 
>3 years, purely because the Editors I used to write for started 
demanding their copy on a Floppy Disk. I used to resent it's presence 
on my desk where it took up half an 8ft 6inch desk. When Last year my 
son-in-law and daughter connected me to the Internet as a present 
Windows promptly crashed, I went, when I finally managed to connect, 
looking for a replacement on the 'net. I have only been using GNU/Linux 
since June, but it has proved no problem for me to understand the 
implications of GNU/Linux. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer, 
and what intellect I did have has been leeched away by my dependence on 
synthetic morphine, (prescribed).

Anyone who can read the installation instructions sufficiently to 
install a GNU/Linux distribution can understand the term GNU/Linux, if 
they can't then it's unlikely that they are going to take up membership 
of AFFS.
