I'm about a quarter of the way through "Going Postal", the latest
Discworld novel, when what should appear to my wondering eyes but the
acronym "GNU", in an almost-software-esque-related bit of dialog at
the top of page 100!

There's a lot about this book that seems pretty hackerish, not to
mention anti-Microsoft in an allegorical way. I bet Pterry is a Linux
user.

Cheers,
