Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2002 10:04:47 -0600 (MDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200204171604.g3HG4l124861@aztec.santafe.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20020416135630.8637F29742@mixing.qc.dfo.ca> (message from Peter S Galbraith on Tue, 16 Apr 2002 09:56:30 -0400)
The "WHAT IS LINUX?" example text that Nick
selected is from the Linux kernel source README file which discusses
configuring, compiling and installing the kernel. In that context,
Linus is obviously referring to "Linux" the kernel, and not "Linux" the
system.
The text starts, "Linux is a Unix clone written from scratch by Linus
Torvalds". Unix is an entire operating system, including shell,
compiler, libraries, etc. The kernel alone is not a clone of Unix.
To make the text correct with Linux referring to the kernel,
that first line of these release notes ought to be changed.
