    A chicken egg tool is a tool, in this case the GCC compiler, which you need in your GNU Linux Operating System to compile your programs.

    The GCC compiler needs to be compiled first.

    This means that you need another C compiler, to compile your GCC compiler.
    The other C compiler will need to reside in another Operating System.

    In this specific example of building a GNU Linux multi tasking Operating System from the MS-DOS single tasking operating system, I used the Turbo C compiler, which was written by Borland. The Turbo C compiler, is a proprietary Closed Source compiler, which is delivered as a executable, not in source code.

    Armed with the Turbo C compiler, I ran the following command sequence for compiling GCC
    ./configure
    make test
    # this runs the assembler program too
    make

    I did not run 'make install' because GCC needs to be installed in GNU Linux. I also used switches so that a Linux ELF Binary executable was created, not a MS-DOS executable binary.

    The last step was to do a raw write of the GCC binary to the Linux file system.

  5. Distributions are interwoven with the GNU principles.
    Before distributions I would have to download the GNU program Source Code one by one, then cross compile (GCC for example) them.
    Once chicken egg tools were cross compiled I could start with native
    ./configure; make; make test; make install

    Quote
    Specifically, free software means users have the four essential freedoms: (0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute modified versions.
    ^Z

    These are important pillars of Free Software

  6. About GNU

    GNU was launched in 1983 by Richard Stallman

    Quote
    The primary and continuing goal of GNU is to offer a Unix-compatible system that would be 100% free software. Not 95% free, not 99.5%, but 100%. The name of the system, GNU, is a recursive acronym meaning GNU's Not Unix—a way of paying tribute to the technical ideas of Unix, while at the same time saying that GNU is something different. Technically, GNU is like Unix. But unlike Unix, GNU gives its users freedom.
    ^Z

    Realize this
    Without GNU, Linux {distributions} would *not* exist. You would only have a kernel after boot, no user land programs

    Be grateful for the existence of GNU

  7. People from #cold areas, like #canada, other Nordics or such, what's your favorite expression for when it's really, really cold outside?

    One memorable one in Finnish translates literally into 'it's cold like in a polar bear's ass'.

  8. Can we stop saying “dogfooding” and “eat your own dog food” as slang for using of your own products and services in the same way as a customer? We can do better. We are not dogs. We are people.

    For reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_y

    "Eat what you cook" is a much better term, and what I currently use. However, it doesn't simplify to the “dogfooding" form.

    Let's start a thread, to gather the possibilities.

  9. Anybody familiar with the expression, "like 40 going north"?

    E.g., "A little bit of coffee will clean that floor like 40 going north."

    the serious observation:

    A great way to find out about shifting #appreciation of cultural #expressions.

    the more personal thoughts:

    Did this person forgot how to pronounce certain “#bodily #pleasure #providing parts”?
    Did she attend the funeral of #irony & #sarcasm?

    Do they offer degrees in #Plastic #Ignorance?
