Re: Use of the name 'Linux' to refer to GNU/Linux

["Quim Gil" <qgil gnome org>]

We are working hard in order to have a revamped wgo by the GNOME 2.18
release. Would you mind waiting until the new site is out? This
problem will be fixed there. Personally I putting all my time in the
wgo revamp and I haven't touched the current cvs/svn based wgo since
ages.

Thank you for your understanding.
