Paul - do we have any posters that proclaim we're a GNU/Linux user

it's in context as soon as possible.

I want us not to be fanatic. 

If you want a GNU/Linux user group whose very name will even more confuse the
hell out of any non-Linux user go ahead and set one up.

If this ceases to be an LUG, then count me out.


Um.... I've been following the discussions about LUG and GLUG and I'm really 
confused.  What exactly is the difference between a LUG and a GLUG?

I'm probably but I understood Linux to be the kernel and GNU to be a set of 
open source tools?  Or am I completely wrong on that?

Either way, I'm confused why it makes so much difference calling the LUG a 
GLUG or LUG and why its so important?
