Linux -> GNU/Linux

Hi there,

The beta software for Processing 1.0 was released 20 April 2005 and can be downloaded here. Bug fixes are being made as we head toward the 1.0 release. Processing is free to download and available for Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.


I think it's just a quick Search and Replace..., to do the changes in the whole web.

Did he forget to point out that is says Windows instead of Microsoft Windows? (Just teasing)

To most people (except RMS), Windows = Microsoft Windows and Linux = GNU/Linux.

It is a shorthand that most everyone accepts.
