Yeah I thought as much. I thought the Linux kernel started in 1990? I have to 
admit that I'm not really a huge fan of Stallman. I know he did a hell of a 
lot starting GNU and his philosophy is great but sometimes I think he takes 
things a bit too far. I also admit that Linux should be named GNU/Linux but 
in Linus' favour it's not his fault people started putting the GNU programs 
together with his Kernel and essentially the core is "Linux". But I feel a 
unix system without GNU programs would be practically useless.
