just listening to Stallman rant about this on tllts the other day,
assuming you have a graphics desktop,
and you judge by lines of code,
if you buy into Stallman's argument, should be calling it
X-11 with a bit of GNU and Linux added in :)
or X-gnu-linux
i have just gotten so use to calling it Linux, why change now,
i still call nose tissue ... kleenex, and snowmobiles ... skidoo's
