Why the name Tri(G)LUG?

That is an FAQ. Name of the Users Group was initially ``Trivandrum Linux Users Group'' and it is renamed to Tri(G)LUG (pronounced as tri-glug) on 14 December 2002. This is an acronym for Trivandrum GNU/Linux Users Group. Read the history page for more details.

Those who are watching the GNU/Linux evolution in the past years have noticed the philosophy attached to it and have read about the GNU project. To honor the contributions from the GNU project which helped Linux to become a usable Operating System, we love to call it GNU/Linux.

Also please keep in mind that, at Tri(G)LUG whether someone prefers to call GNU/Linux as GNU/Linux or just Linux is up to that individual. Avoid taking this topic for discussion in the mail list or in meetings.
