aru Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 ... Mr Richard Stallman The main head of the GNU project and the FSF Just for curiosity, I've made a little search on this board for the strings "Linus Torvalds" and "Richard Stallman". Linus at least gave 8 matches, but Saint Stallman return NONE. Well that made me feel a bit sad, since w/o him we won't be here as GNU-Linux would have never exist. Thanks to such idealist man the Free Software is a reality now (remember that L. Torvalds just developes the kernel for fun but not for any idealism) . Newbies remember: --> Who made the miracle was R. Stallman (along with thousands of other idealist developers) --> Who made the kernel was L. Torvalds So again, thanks Mr Stallman (despite that my editor is vim ;) ) btw, Stallman is spending some days here in Spain :roll: Links: http://www.gnu.org http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html http://www.stallman.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuyo Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 I also would like to extend a warm thank you to Stallman for his unrelenting fight for freedom. His vision and his passion are an inspiration to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BlackSnow Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 My point in a previous post. I'd rather give money to the FSF than Mandrake. What would Mandrake be without the FSF? There wouldn't be a Mandrake. Not my fault the company is in a mess and ran up a huge debt which they cant pay. Hence why id rather give money back to the FSF, where it would get distributed back to the community and not to Banks and business men.

SteamCat Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 Here! Here! Well said aru. :) A fun little side project might be to create a GNU/Linux 'calendar' with notable events throughout the year. Birthdays, release dates, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
