Yes, old one. I remember that.

"You can call Linux GNU/Linux as in 'Debian GNU/Linux',
because Debian is a distribution of Linux. But to call
Linux *in general* GNU/Linux is just ridiculous."

>From a technical perspective, and Linus Torvalds (not a
nice guy at all by the way) has that perspective if
anyone does, this is 100% correct.

Also, I remember:

"We tried to get some Russian army guys into Linux. 'I
don't think that will work here', they said. 'It sounds
too much like Communism.'" :)

(Both pseudo-quotes. 10 years since I watched it or
so.)
