What is an operating system? An OS could be considered an "application", Thus it's very "convent" that you can "recommend" free software on non-free operating systems, but then attack free operating systems that only offer an optional "scaffold" for using non-free software.

Richard, You're a hypocrite.. and your values are flawed..  I think you need to re-evaluate your position, and for goodness sake.. use a web browser so you can actually backup your claims. (With research..)

Please, Go back to HURD land.. stop biting the hand that feeds the community, by writing drivers.. obtaining vendor docs.. and protesting binary blobs - And stop making uneducated accusations and assessments based on what some "friend's friend's brothers mother" told you in passing.
