"Brandon S. Allbery KF8NH" <allbery@kf8nh.apk.net> : Why should config.guess care what vendor variant of Linux is used? It's : mostly irrelevant; the differences are things which differ on other systems : as well and therefore should be tracked by non-Linux-specific rules.
Because redhat/debian/slackware/suse put admin stuff in different places and under different names.
It is useful information to see redhat/suse/etc - gnu-linux tells me nothing more than Stallman is being a twit. I don't really care if it is redhat+gnu-linux or suse+gnu-linux, but it is a total lose to not have the correct vendor in there somewhere.
