The console clearly is exclusively a feature of the kernel. We render ourselves ridiculous if we demand that people call the whole operating system "GNU/Linux" to distinguish it from the kernel "Linux", then call the console "GNU/Linux". The whole point about "GNU/Linux" is to make the distinction in the first place, to give credit where credit is due. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
