    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.
