Anyhow I like either Alug's a Linux user group or Alug's a libre unix group although I still don't see what is wrong with the current name :)
I'm with Adam on this one I don't see anything wrong with the current name and the explanation of on the website and in the FAQ. Primarily we discuss linux kernel GNU systems. Not to do RMS any disservice (I have great admiration for the man) but it seems the Linux moniker has been embraced by the most of the world as the default generic name for the OS we are all using albeit just a kernel with all that glorious GNU stuff running on top so Anglian Linux User Group would seem to me to be an adequate description for us.
Just my tuppence worth, asbestos jacket at the ready.
However I quite like A Load of Unlikely Geeks if we really have to change! :-)
Are we seriously talking about changing what ALUG means? I thought this was just a bit of fun.
