Rusty: you really do have to feel sorry for him. I certaintly have not, however. If it would not have been for his GNU compiler and debugger there would be no Linux.

Message 8046281 They make it sound like Linus alone created Linux. I appreciate his efforts, but even he admits that he has only writen 10% of the kernel and the kernel is only 1/1000th of the Linux software. It is actually the GNU operating system running a Linux kernel and I didn't hear GNU mentioned once. How about mentioning Richard Stallman? I haven't forgotten about him. He is my Hero<G>
