You might want to throttle your auto-responder that triggers whenever
someone refers to `Linux' without the GNU/ prefix.
I really MEANT the kernel.
Quoting wikipedia:
An operating system (commonly abbreviated OS and O/S) is the software
component of a computer system that is responsible for the management
and coordination of activities and the sharing of the resources of the
computer. The operating system acts as a host for application programs
that are run on the machine.
So when I said `fully-functioning operating system' I did not mention
userspace at all.
If that nomenclature is wrong I would be glad if you could adjust the
Wikipedia article.
I hope it makes you happy when I say that I also use, study, improve
(where possible) and propagate GNU software that I use in combination
with the Linux kernel :)
