Not at all. I have some DECstations running Ultrix as the kernel but with nearly everything else replaced by GNU stuff (plus X from the Consortium). An Ultrix-based GNU system as it were. I've GNUifying commercial OSes since before there was Linux. I'd rather have a complete free OS, of course, but GNU software certainly isn't useless without Linux. -- Jurgen Botz, jbotz@mtholyoke.edu "Unix? What's that? Is that like Linux?"
