The Linux/GNU arguement is pretty much a dead horse. If you are marketing Linux you don't sell it as Linux/GNU or what is just going to confuse people. See www.amazon.com for details. All the distros call their distro LINUX. Not Linux/GNU. However in the distro book the first chapter should have some info and history on the Linux/GNU environment or else it isn't a clear manual.
Anyway retailers sell Linux as Linux, not Linux/GNU but we should should learn about that.
Linux is an OS.
If want to say UNIX is not an OS it is standard then fine. But what this article is talking about is UNIX based OSs. We call them UNIX systems. So calling them a UNIX OS is fine too. Linux is the Kernel yes, and a Linux kernel with opens sourse software is called Linux/GNU. However for sake of arguement we just called the whole OS Linux and any UNIX based OS, a UNIX-based UNIX. Some would go ever so far as to call BSD, UNIX.
AT&T sold UNIX to the SRO group who believed they could use ownership of the UNIX code to sue Linux and make a load of money by 0wning Linux in the process, shutting it down, and selling their own brand of UNIX (UnixWare) in its place. The net result was that the court said that Linux was NOT a rip of UNIX. AT&T knew this anyway which is why they sold it in the first place. LINUX effectively killed the future of Bell Labs' UNIX. If you want to use UNIX then you can buy UnixWare, IRIX, HP-UX, AIX, all of which are now mostly useless to the world at large. LINUX is replacing these mission critical OSs. BSD is the other option.

There is absolutely no historical record of a christian congregation electing their own Bishop without the Apostles, or those that succeeded them, approving and appointing the elected person to the position of Bishop. False gospel preachers are even rebuked by Apostles and Bishops. This is all in the New Testament. History revisionists would like to think that the NT speaks to them directly, word for word, while those who have a historical understanding of the scriptures know that even though the scriptures do contain good teachings for all christians, not everything in them is aimed at everybody. Just read the Pastorial Letters, written by John, to the Bishop Timothy and Titus. The RCC never murdered anyone. Name a clergy member who did. What you will find is that villages burned those they considered heretics at the stake on a whim. The church was called in to testify if these people (who where lucky enough to actually get a trial) where heretics. These where the dark ages, not the middle ages. In the middle ages Protestant christians slaughtered lots of people for no reason. Remember John Calvin, Salem Witch Trials or how about we ask what happened to all the American Indians? Is George Bush acting Christian when he drops bombs in Iraq?... something the Pope did not believe in by the way.
Jesus started a CHURCH (singular). He appointed APOSTLES to lead that church. These APOSTLES appointed their successors, BISHOPS. In the NT christian communities choose a leader who is then APPOINTED to a church position by the BISHOP. This is the CHURCH based religion JESUS started. Jesus did not start a BOOK based religion. The RCC Canonized the Bible for its own use.
Jesus started 1 Church, not 2 or 3 or 30,000+ growing at a rate of 200 every week.
This is simple stuff.
The Catholic Church is not demoninated from anything. Jesus started a CHURCH (singular) not CHURCHES (plural).
Mat 16:18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
The Roman Catholic Church canonized the bible.
So what if "Christians" reject what was done at Carthage. Only the Church (singular) that Jesus started was given "all the truth".
Joh 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
The Roman Catholic Church Canonized the Bible. That is something that no one can revise historically.
To say that the Church persecuted and murdered millions of people is false. Clergy never murdered anyone. Name a clergy member who murdered someone. Towns murdered heretics, sure. The clergy was called into court to testify as to the heresy. That was their job. The heretic was confirmed a heretic or not, set free or asked to repent. Mobs just burnt people at the stake at will.
As for child rape. http://www.reformation.com/ has 850 protestant ministers named and shamed for child sexual abuse.
Well after the Reformation Protestants murdered plenty of people. See SALEM WITCH TRIALS, how about Calvin having people executed or go ask the local US Indian population where all their people have gone. ALL THESE THINGS DID NOT HAPPEN IN THE DARK AGES EITEHR:) MIDDLE AGE MURDERS right up to the 1800s.
Mar 13:32 But of that day or hour no man knoweth, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.
NO MAN KNOWETH WHEN.
WE SHOULD BE GETTING ON BEING GOOD CHRISTIANS INSTEAD...
1Th 5:2 For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 While people are saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
1Th 5:4 But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.
1Th 5:5 For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.
1Th 5:6 So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.
1Th 5:7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.
1Th 5:8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
1Th 5:9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Th 5:10 who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him.
1Th 5:11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
BTW - 666 is code for NERO. The anti-christ in Revelation has come and gone. According to the Catholic Church most of Revelation has already happened.
ANYONE WHO DENIES JESUS IS GOD IS OF THE ANTI-CHRIST'S SPIRIT.
1Jo 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.
The 666 mark was code for NERO. Just ask the Catholic Church who canonized the Bible in the 4th century at the III Council of Carthage. When Revelation was written it was revealed to the seven churches that 666 was code for NERO. Much of Revelation has already come to pass. Any good Biblical Commentary, especially historical ones, such as the NEW JEROME BIBLICAL COMMENTARY will confirm this. The anti-christ has alread been. Also in other books of the NT we are told there are many anti-christs and that these are 'anybody' who denies Jesus was God in the flesh. It is as simple as that. Also Jesus himself tells us that we do not know when the end times will come. Only 'my father' in heaven knows. Plus the last POPE and the current POPE believe in Evolution. What we have today are modern literal interpretations (historical revisionism) of what should be a historical literal interpretation. Just ask the Catholic Church who have no problem with catholics working on tech.
In short,
Don't bother yourself about the END TIMES or the ANTI-CHRIST but get on with life and love your neighbor.
Utter crap.
The Pope is not the anti-christ. The anti-christ was nero. Anybody who denies Christ was God in the Flesh is called an anti-christ.
The Catholic Church CANONIZED the books of the YOUR BIBLE.
lol.
