Red Links

Listener--I take it you're planning to write the relevant articles? (nice work, btw)PFoster 21:42, 5 December 2008 (EST)

You caught me in the middle of fixing the red links (I knew there was an article about Open Source, but got the capitalization wrong in the wikilink). I have now removed all the red links to articles I do not intend to write. ListenerX^TalkerX 22:01, 5 December 2008 (EST)

Linux...?

Richard Stallman did NOT produce the linux operating system. Is this a joke? Alecwh 01:52, 6 December 2008 (EST)

If you are referring to the first sentence of the article, I was making that statement with regard to the Free Software movement, not Mr. Stallman. I have reworded that sentence to make this more clear.

Linux isn't an operating system but a kernel, while GNU utilities and apps make it possible to produce a distribution, thus an operating system. That is why there are many distribution based on the Linux kernel, which are mostly called GNU/Linux distributions as they use the utilities made by Richard Stallman himself. --Comrade-yutyo (talk) 21:14, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

What the fuck is this crap?

Why is RationalWiki trolling Richard, one of the greatest Atheists of our times?

I don't see it as trolling. It seems like to me it's all done in good fun. It's no secret that he displays quite some strange mannerisms, but he's a brilliant mind and I'm glad that he's around. This page on the other hand, is outright trolling. 68.46.42.9 (talk) 03:05, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Its pretty trolling at the moment tho. I guess it needs edits.--Comrade-yutyo (talk) 21:12, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
