10 Iconic Linux Logos

Sad, now I see too clearly why RMS irrationally insists that Linux be ascribed always GNU/Linux.

Please, learn some history before writing drivel, preferably before publishing inaccurate ruminations on your favorite themes. This was embarrassingly wrong. It does harm to all sides. For those new it propagates false images. To use the GNU under the Linux rubric is so blatantly in error it beggars my efforts to put it into mere words. I cannot adequately characterize the offense.

How about Free software for a title? Not popular enough, not enough hits?

Especially interesting to have logos like GIMP and OpenOffice.org, for which most users are running Windows.

Please expand a little atleast. Mind you I am vocally opposed to the obligatory GNU prependment to Linux in any form. Not that GNU does not deserve credit for putting Linux where it is, just not any more so than many other tools that no one rarely if ever kicks dust around about.

But:

No Linux, GNU. No GNU, no Linux.

Makes a little bit of a difference.

Correction, made a little difference, there is nothing that is GNU that can not and has not been done another way. GNU was a shortcut but hardly an end game. My biggest complaint though about using GNU and Linux together is not acknowledging the contributions, rather the hypocrisy of it's most notable and vocal insistent.

I missed something- the article was a collection of icons, with hardly any text. Sooo... I do not get the comments here. Did this get posted to the wrong article?

tuxchick, It's the title. GNU predates Linux, others are not exclusively Linux applications, etc.

The GNU environment predates Linux, yes. So does the C language. But I don't see K&R/GNU/Linux...

I prefer each person to just use what they like. If they like GNU/Linux, fine. If they like Linux, fine too.

When I'm running the GNU tools on MINIX, I say "I run MINIX". Or "I run BSD".

But such is life. I drive a Rockefeller/Carnegie/Ford/Isuzu Rodeo, too.

I simply use what ever the distro use themselves. So I say "Ubuntu" (with no Linux), Debian GNU/Linux, Gentoo Linux, etcetera.
