[OT] GNU - Linux and Debian.......

[Charlie <ariestao@clearmail.com.au>]

Just a general off topic query.

I was recently informed that my signature had a problem rendering correctly on 
someone's mailer - deliniter incorrect - and was told that my signature "Linux 
Debian" should read "Debian GNU/Linux" because: "considering that the majority 
of it is provided by GNU."

I have added GNU - but it may be silly? My own prejudice was that Linux was 
first so should be first, that without it there would be no Debian? Or as I 
asked my correspondent, who never replied, would there have been an OpenBSD 
Debian or something like that? Then should GNU go before Debian or after? Or 
not be there at all? Even if most comes from GNU Debian is the one that 
creates it so?

I'm just interested and imagine there will not be a definitive answer to this 
at all.

Be well,
Charlie
