    People still go on and on about this? You know what,I just say "Linux" and if someone does not like it,I don't care.

      That depends on what you are referring to. If you are referring to the kernel then yes. If you are referring to the OS then neither "Linux" nor "GNU/Linux" is correct. It would simply be a Linux-based OS.

        Let's see the Linux sans GNU then.

          What's your deal? The article even explains that Linux is the kernel and GNU made OS utilities. Linux (the kernel) has nothing to do with it. Linux distributions wouldn't be what they are without the GNU utilities, but that's a different thing. Please talk apples to apples!

            Oh Honey, you have no idea.

            GNU made OS utilities

            Well, I guess kids today think the more fundamental something is to computing, the more that makes it 'OS utilities.' I suppose it's not their fault if they think gcc is a utility. The wrong people always have kids.

            Very good. Can you say "orange?"

      That's fine, we still know you mean GNU/Linux anyway.

    Linux is the kernel; not the operating system. How are people still not getting this?
