1 year agoI hardly remember what I was doing 5 seconds ago. Sure, that’s more complicated than a number, and I think about my age rather frequently so remembering it is rather easy, but storing anything for a year and remembering it when I haven’t thought about it for a while is difficult.
I think what they were specifying was the role GNU plays in that sentence. Personally I don’t like calling one GNU/Linux and the other Linux, but the defining point of GNU is that it’s uses only free open source software, and does not contain any non-free (as in speech, not beer) software.
