Hello, fellow members of JKHub.

I have come here to teach. Teach you about the importance of GNU/Linux.

Basically, as you may or may not know, a lot of people seem to confuse the Linux kernel with GNU.

I am here to fix this misunderstanding.

If you have any complaints about my behaviour, please forward them to my supreme overlord - @@spior.

I can't believe I'm actually allowing a spambot.

Linux.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Ok I'm done now. *bans Spior*

[spior]

You're spamming just as much as he is. Ban yourself while you're at it

[CrimsonStrife]

He works fast....I tried to edit a post cause I had submitted it before I'd realized what I'd done, and he was there within seconds >.<

[afi]

L i n u x is from now on you-know-who

[spior]

He scans unread topics every minute.

Used to be faster (5 seconds), but I forgot I was eating all of Cael's bandwidth

[therfiles]

Wait...I don't understand the difference between Linux and GNU...

 

Edit: Oh...lol he is banned

Linux is a kernel, GNU is an OS.

Also that wouldn't have triggered it in the first place

I scan for posts like this

if( strstr(posts[a].comment, "linux" ) &&

! strstr(posts[a].comment, "gnu" ) &&

! strstr(posts[a].comment, "kernel" ) )

{

[therfiles]

wow...I didn't know that was possible...I gotta study code sometime

[spior]

Yes, yes you should.

[CrimsonStrife]

I'm not even a coder and I know that if he didn't set it up that way then the bot would probably have responded to himself...which would have been a nightmare lol.

Nope It wouldn't have done that.

As I said in a previous thread, it was pretty bandwidth savvy.
