Emacs is not a part of Linux. Linux is one program, and Emacs is another. Did you mean GNU/Linux distros? Unfortunately, we can't control how they package things. The GNU GPL does require that they distribute the source, but gives them a lot of flexibility about how they do it. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (gnu.org, fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (internethalloffame.org) Skype: No way!
