Hmm, a bit. :) I have it written like this because the Debian people
seem to put a lot of importance on calling the OS GNU/Linux. Certainly
Debian is the distro, but I include it in the OS name for clarity.
Otherwise it would be a bit like a FreeBSD user simply saying their OS
was UNIX. While it's accurate, it doesn't give much detail. I hope you
can see my reasoning behind this, however flawed it may be. :)
I'd still like to know why Anca's 'my_hdr' doesn't work. Or have you
solved this Anca?
Toodle pip,
