Dear developers,
I am reading the documentation for gawk
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html) and have found that
sometimes you use the term "Linux" instead of "GNU/Linux" to refer to
the system.
Here are the culprits:
* in "Foreword" section:
"gawk ships with Linux, and you can download binaries or source code
for almost any system; my wife uses gawk on her VMS box."
* in "The GNU Project and This Book":
"Many GNU/Linux distributions are often available in computer stores
or bundled on CD-ROMs with books about Linux."
* in "Glossary":
"Linux is a stable, efficient, full-featured clone of Unix that has
been ported to a variety of architectures."
* in "Index", "Linux:" references should be deleted ("GNU/Linux:"
references are already there and refer to the same sections), as there
is no reference to the Linux kernel in the related sections.
Please make the changes.
Thanks.
Christophe
