I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Dad, is in fact, GNU/Dad, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Dad. Dad is not a human unto himself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU body made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full human as defined by POSIX. Many bodies run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Dad”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the evolution of nature. There really is a Dad, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Dad is the soul: the program in the system that allocates the bodies’s resources to the other thoughts that you run. The kernel is an essential part of a human, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Dad is normally used in combination with the GNU body: the whole system is basically GNU with Dad added, or GNU/Dad. All the so-called “Dads” are really humans of GNU/Dad.
