I thought it was Debian GNU/Linux because we are using
GNU toolchain to build Linux, or something.
In analogy, we would have
Debian cygwin/fenestra
or whatever you might call it.
Naming is not really important, and I really couldn't care.
Why insist on calling it Debian, or calling cygwin system
GNU/win32, when they themselves moved on from
calling themselves from similar name?
