To be fair, I don't think some are able to fully see it from Chris' point of
view as they're blinded by their (understandable) high opinion of Linux. At
the risk of coming across as being patronising, I think this is a suitable, if

Some could say same about those that want to dump the name linux.<BR>
I can see Chris's POV, but he wants us to dump the name Linux to make his life easier, this is a Linux grass roots organisation.<BR>
Would he go to Microsoft and demand they drop the name Windows ? I bet we all know the answer to that one.<BR>

If that changes, the org has, and IMHO it has no right to keep a hold of the Linux Aus name from those who would seek to re-establish LA and keep its grass roots as Linux. <BR>
