Bug#410317: installation-guide: links to be fixed in section 1.2 _What is GNU/Linux?_



Package: installation-guide
Version: 20070122
Severity: minor

Hi!

Section 1.2 _What is GNU/Linux?_[1] states, in part:

| Development of what later became GNU/Linux began in 1984, when the
| _Free Software Foundation_ began development of a free Unix-like
| operating system called GNU.
| 
| The GNU Project has developed a comprehensive set of free software
| tools for use with Unix(TM) and Unix-like operating systems such
| as Linux.

where the underlined _Free Software Foundation_ is a link pointing to

  http://www.gnu.org/

I think it would be better if such link pointed to

  http://www.fsf.org/

instead.
The "GNU Project" in the next paragraph could be turned into a link
pointing to

  http://www.gnu.org/

at the same time...


Later on, the same section states:

|
| See Linux International's _Linux History Page_
|

where the underlined _Linux History Page_ is a link pointing to

  http://www.li.org/linuxhistory.php

Well, maybe it's me, but I could not find anything related to Linux
history on that website...
Wrong URL?
Changed website that used to host useful information, but no longer does?
I don't know, but I think that the link should be fixed (or otherwise
dropped).
