I'd
just
like
to
interject
for
a
moment.
What
you're
referring
to
as
Linux,
is
in
fact,
GNU/Linux,
or
as
I've
recently
taken
to
calling
it,
GNU
plus
Linux.
Linux
is
not
an
operating
system
unto
itself,
but
rather
another
free
component
of
a
fully
functioning
GNU
system
made
useful
by
the
GNU
corelibs,
shell
utilities
and
vital
system
components
comprising
a
full
OS
as
defined
by
POSIX.
Many
computer
users
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
"Linux",
and
many
of
its
users
are
not
aware
that
it
is
basically
the
GNU
system,
developed
by
the
GNU
Project.
There
really
is
a
Linux,
and
these
people
are
using
it,
but
it
is
just
a
part
of
the
system
they
use.
Linux
is
the
kernel:
the
program
in
the
system
that
allocates
the
machine's
resources
to
the
other
programs
that
you
run.
The
kernel
is
an
essential
part
of
an
operating
system,
but
useless
by
itself;
it
can
only
function
in
the
context
of
a
complete
operating
system.
Linux
is
normally
used
in
combination
with
the
GNU
operating
system:
the
whole
system
is
basically
GNU
with
Linux
added,
or
GNU/Linux.
All
the
so-called
"Linux"
distributions
are
really
distributions
of
GNU/Linux. https://gs.smuglo.li/attachment/854009
