This has always been a huge debate.
I think I should start referring it as GNU/X/Compiz/Gnome/Linux instead
of Linux.
This old age discussion is fruitless. There are more important things to
be done than debating what term to use.
Everyone who cares already knows that Linux contains a lot of GNU
software. Those who don't care, will well never care.
