Fair enough, but this was a poster on a wall, and the large majority of the
world thinks that a hacker is a cracker.
It has to be Gnu/Linux anyway, as linux is just the kernel, gnome is just
the gui (not the Xserver), etc etc etc.

And I agree, everyone thinks its just linux, or Lienux.

Also, a cracker is something you put cheese on, or soemthign you pull on
Chrimbo. So....
