<p><p>Copyright ought to be rethought, now that computers and networks exist. Back
34
when not anyone could make copies of books, it was reasonable to assume that
35
if you were making copies, you were depriving the author of potential income.

<p><p>I see this so often and it's so wrong. That if you know GNU/Linux, you must
43
switch to Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, OpenSUSE or at least Debian. That if you use
44
Mint or Ubuntu, you're not a real GNU/Linux user.

<p><p>Linux isn't very Unix-like by itself. Of course, it's a Unix-like <em class="emphasis-1">kernel</em>, and it
52
does Unix-compatible file operations, process management, and system calls, but without the GNU
53
suite or some other userland, it is just a kernel which doesn't have to be used as a Unix-like
54
one.
