"Linux" is just a kernel of a more complex system that we like to refer
to as GNU/Linux, to emphasize the ideals of the Free Software
movement. The Linux project just produces the kernel, they do not
produce any other tools or softwares in a standard GNU/Linux system.

Would you mind changing references to Linux as an OS to GNU/Linux?

For more information, see http://www.gnu.org/gnu/linux-and-gnu.html.

Your project is not yet part of the GNU project, so we cannot accept its
current name.

While there are non-GNU programs with names that include 'gnu', such
as gnuplot and gnuboy, they are not hosted on Savannah.
 We want to
maintain the distinction between GNU and non-GNU projects.

When your project is accepted into the GNU project you may change its
name.  You can do this by asking us.

If you are willing to make the changes mentioned above, we will
consider your project for inclusion in Savannah.

Regards,

Alaska Subedi
