But who care's, not me.
Silly Silly, GNU came way before Linux. Stallman began work on it in the 1970's and by the early 90's most of the components were completed, all they needed was a kernel. Thats where Linus came in, and thats why we say GNU/Linux and not Linux/GNU.
Distribution: Currently: OpenMandriva. Previously: openSUSE, PCLinuxOS, CentOS, among others over the years.
